I don't doubt that Worldcoin creators want to solve decentralized identity and give out coins to participants. It's just hard for me to see a path to which it scales or becomes practical for an exchange of goods, unless many governments and businesses start using Worldcoin for identity services.

There also seems to be other blockchains to offer identity management, albeit no additional UBI aspect, so then how does Worldcoin beat out the other blockchains offering the same service? It's not clear to me but I agree that it's good that people are trying.
