When Zuckerberg tried to launch Facebook coin (Libra) in 2019, he was immediately called to a congressional hearing and the whole thing was shut down. Kind'a makes you think who's behind Sam Altman and why he is so willing to run around talking about his new centralized "UBI" identity coin w/ no fear from the SEC or anyone else in government...ESPECIALLY after all the lawsuits in the past 12 months.

Sam Altman is doing his best Bond villain act... collecting your eyeballs for world domination. It's theater to scare people away from all cryptocurrencies (bitcoin particularly)

He has been dragged in front of congress for AI, I don’t think people have even heard of worldcoin yet. Zuck was posturing to facilitate payments across the largest social media company in the world. Completely different scenarios IMO

How much do you think the fact that there’s a very identifiable piece of hardware as part of this coin confuse those observing it? Really pathetic that AI Wunderkind plus shiny piece of hardware can provide that kind of distraction / air cover for such a dark and disturbing effort.

Pretty sure its because he does not allow any US users so he is scared of the SEC technically

Any word on Bobby Lee’s murder? Nima Momeni will be on trial on the 31st of July… He is the scapegoat for the crooks. Crooks In Action 🤣🤣🤣 It’s sad to think about, but it is the unfolding of reality. When will the world wake up? 🙁🙁😏

Altman: “Let me create some major AI havoc and let it round wild” Also Altman: “Let me create “a solution” to the problem I helped create in the first place”… while getting rich under the guise of economic prosperity for all 🤔

Not sure how accurate this reading is. They are purposely not lunching in US because of SEC risks.

Difference is 1. Zuck is easily dislikeable. 2. Sam put on a good show on in DC, similar to SBF's strategy. 3. Libra from a US perspective didn't add anything at the time, and created more risks. Now US regulators are scared from AI so anything that is pitched as protection is an easy sell.
