THE BIG STORY
👁️ Sam Altman’s Dystopian Iris-Scanning Currency Rollout

Brief: Worldcoin, a cryptocurrency project headed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, has officially commenced its global rollout.

The project utilizes iris-scanning technology to verify users' identities and aims to establish a "new global digital currency."

However, the success of this novel digital currency could vary significantly based on user location.

Details:

• Upon scanning their irises with a local "orb" device, users receive a share of WLD, thereby promoting the notion of universal basic income.
  
  

• The company has verified two million volunteers' World IDs via orbs in 30 countries since 2019, though complaints about not receiving any currency have arisen, primarily in developing nations.
  
  

• Despite its successes, Worldcoin faces significant operational challenges in the United States due to regulatory issues linked to the SEC's recent crackdown on cryptocurrencies.
  
  

What's Next: Worldcoin will continue its global rollout, aiming to increase its orb capacity up to 1,500 to boost sign-up capacity fivefold however its future growth will heavily depend on the performance and acceptance of its WLD token.
