Cryptocurrency partially protects you from debanking. Cryptoidentity partially protects you from denaturalization. We already know that cryptocurrency means money that no state can seize. What’s next is cryptoidentity that no state can strip. This will mean the merger of ENS/SNS with API keys, private keys, passwords, keycards, and AI-proof passports. From 2019: Cryptocurrency doesn’t stop states from debanking you from fiat currency. They have root over banking ledgers. Cryptoidentity similarly can’t stop states from denaturalizing you from fiat identity. Because they have root over passport ledgers, too. But even if stripped of fiat banking and passport, you can now still use the Internet to send money, encrypt messages, and log in to services.
