Is Worldcoin a scam? What actual use-case is Worldcoin solving online?
What does it solve that cannot be accomplished by 2FA or Bitcoin keys with funds?
Distinguishing bots from humans online is hard, how can you be sure that an Iris-scanned Worldcoin ID is not used by a bot online? The human gets the World ID, but then the ID is used by a bot online.
So the only thing remaining is the uniquiness part. But humans could theoretically resell their IDs on the black market. Bot farms could be build by buying IDs from other users. Local Orbs could be hacked to produce more World IDs than humans. But it would add additional cost, that's true.
What do you think? Is it a scam or legitimate use case?
