Identity is the core of human coordination. 🌎Everyone has one.♾It’s constantly evolving.🤝It’s how we relate and connect to others.🔐Self-sovereignty means you have the most (but not total!) control over your identity. 🎮Self-sovereign Identity means Control your Own Adventure.

It’s weird if a stranger hugs you without consent. It’s dangerous if someone sends you a non-transferable NFT with your home address in it. We need systems of consent AND revocation if we want to build Web3 outside the unsafe panopticon.

I’m floored by the community’s excitement for Disco. so f*ck it, we ball . DM me if you want early access to the @discoxyz private beta. You don’t have to fund a wallet to have fun in web3, just keys and vibes. So let’s dance 🪩✨.

DIDs & VCs are the z-axis of web3. Blockchains are like flat (x, y) axes . Money is flat, but people aren’t . Account abstraction with @discoxyz enables dimension, topography, 360° expression — (x, y, z).

Your handle here is owned by twitter . Your driver’s license is owned by the DMV. Your email is owned by google. Your address is owned by the postal service. Your instagram handle is owned by Zuck. It’s time to put the SELF in self-custody with an identity that you own & control.

My definition of the metaverse is showing up to any digital or physical environment and receiving a personalized experience based on the parts of yourself/data you choose to present. This includes persistent digital environments like VR apps, but let’s think BIGGER.

🪩🏰. @guildxyz & @discoxyz present: . Verifiable Credential Access Control . for Discord, GitHub, Telegram, Google Drive. If you can token-gate it, you can reputation-gate it with off-chain data! . So proud of this epic step forward for interop and utility in web3 ✨.
Can you hear the music? Do you see the lights?. It's @discoxyz time in the Guild castle 🪩🏰. Verifiable Credentials just arrived to a guild near you, and it's kind of a big deal 💫

hi @Apple. It’s time to recognize Ethereum as a word. Bitcoin doesn’t autocorrect. And just like language evolves, so does technology . The Ethereum ecosystem represents over $1 trillion US Dollars of value. Put some respect on our name

“Can I pick your brain” is one of the more disrespectful ways to ask for my time. You bring nothing to the table, and ask me to gift my expertise in service of yr casual interest. Instead: .Can we discuss your work .Can we review a use case .Can I treat you to a working lunch.

I am an American woman. In some US states, I have more control over my bitcoin than my own body. That’s insane. Roe v. Wade is a data privacy case. Self-custody is now a physical safety issue. Web3, where you at? Let’s make our keys do more than ponzis and jpgs.

The blockchain is NOT a place for passports, health records, employment status, dating apps, or any other personal data specific to a human person. A billboard in Times Square is more private.

You won’t build a community by just putting people in a well-decorated space with snacks, booze and music. Psychological safety and a sense of belonging create better vibes than your stacked event budget ever could.

Filling out forms by hand is absurd. Let your data introduce you precisely, according to your consent. @discoxyz has got you covered. Automagically rock up with your data for a personalized experience. No more parties in LA, no more forms in the metaverse.

The other week at a web3 event, a man asked where my husband works. The company I co-founded, where I am CEO, was hosting the event. Next, a male influencer said I didn’t belong in a photo w/ my gfs. The photo was in the women’s restroom at an awards event where I won the award.
a man just approached me and @RosiePerper to ask us to take a survey on whether or not we were attending the conference with “our boyfriends” or if we actually knew about crypto. the toxic masculinity in this space has reached a new peak.

In web3, we need to love our human users more than we love our tech . We are in the service industry. Implementation details are a waste unless they remove friction and add delightful value. If we don’t love, defend, protect & serve our users . what are we even doing here?.

People try new apps and tools for 5 reasons: . 1) To get paid . 2) To get laid . 3) To flex . 4) To save time or money . 5) Because they have to/are forced to by some other party . Web3 isn’t playing with all of the onboarding routes yet, don’t you think anon?.

In May, I explained onstage that web2 surveillance data would be used to prosecute women and limit their bodily autonomy. On multiple podcasts, I repeated that data self-custody is the key to safety. Now it’s happening. Law enforcement is hunting women through their data.

Spending money shouldn’t be required to use web3, although the freedom to transact is awesome. Off-chain data and reputation can deliver wild value without crazy fees. Great design can upgrade this tech from nominally accessible to truly human-enjoyable. This is how we win.
