At the last @idworkshop, I announced my talk: “5yrs ago at this conference, Trinsic launched our self-sovereign identity platform. Today, I’m hosting a session called “SSI didn’t work. Trinsic is pivoting.”" Only recently, during a couple of 2am - 5am shifts with a newborn baby,

This AM, @Trinsic_ID CEO @RileyPHughes talks current digital-ID applications, why a visa-like identity network is essential for scale, and how verified-credential wallets create a future of more secure, private and trusted digital interactions. https://t.co/4KkGx0xFyJ

I was wrong!! 1. DC API was demoed on Safari, but they insisted cross-platform would be supported. This is very good. 2. No connection to AI strategy, but they did crap on docV a lot! 3. I was wrong on no release date! Maybe they're learning a lesson post apple intelligence :)

I am betting @Apple 1. demos DC API at #WWDC25 on Safari, 2. connects it to AI strategy somehow, 3. no release date/timeline

I love @ChrisLuno to begin with, but this mix + video hits so much harder now. Give it a watch and try to appreciate the gorgeous Malibu coast as it was ~1 month ago 💙

🚨 IDENTITY THEFT COSTS BILLIONS—IS YOUR DATA NEXT? Every 22 seconds, someone falls victim to identity theft, with scams up 160% in 2024 alone. Hackers thrive on centralized systems, but decentralized identity is flipping the script, putting control back in your hands. Your

Glad to have been invited to this event. After the video cuts off, I asked Romney: “Can we grow our way out of this?“ He had a very reasonable answer, obviously having thought deeply about this. Would love to see a longer-form convo on this with the All In crew @friedberg

We will pay $1 trillion in interest alone on our national debt this year. Think about that—$1 trillion! We could quadruple our military procurement with that amount of money. Our interest burden is only going to get worse, which will hinder us from continuing to lead the world.

You’re offered $1 billion cash. If you accept, you inherit a perpetual lingering cold. If you reject, life goes on normally. What do you pick?

This is the most interesting digital ID story I’ve read in the run-up to the elections. I’m a nerd so I read the whole lawsuit. Here are the facts: 👨‍⚖️ Republicans are suing to prevent the use of digital student IDs for voter ID in North Carolina. 🪪 The law states voters need to

This was actually so fun. I'd never met this guy before, he walked up and asked if we wanted to do a recording, and we jumped in 10 seconds later. Definitely a highlight of the show for me!

Gartner is spot on with this one - 500 million people using a digital ID by 2026. I wouldn't adjust this estimate at all - here's a breakdown of specifically how this could happen: First, a quote that frames the problem. Gartner says: “The current IDV model of a user being
