This "identity wallet" is such a hostile idea, require identification for everything instead of thinking about how to remove identification (for example, allow anonymous banking, traveling).

Wait until you find out that in some places in the EU it's a crime to not carry a physical ID on your person when you leave the house.
Is it just me, or are nation-states getting way too uppity?
In post Soviet countries it’s a relic of the past, obviously still useful if you’re looking for a reason to arrest someone.
