Key Insights

Bullish:

  • 🟒 $WORLDID - World ID offers powerful, anonymous human verification technology with a large user base, presenting significant opportunities for developers and various applications in DeFi, social media, and token distribution.
    • β€œWhat world ID does is very very very basic but very very very powerful, which is that it verifies you as a anonymous human and a unique human but it doesn't give that person asking for that verification any information about who you are.” - Leighton (0:00)
    • β€œFor the first time ever, developers have a way to instantly gain access to 15,000,000 users who are already fully onboarded and can use their apps right away.” - Leighton (19:12)
    • β€œCredit, under collateralized credit. The ability for people to borrow money without needing to put up collateral of greater value. That's something that crypto has not figured out.” - Leighton (20:50)
    • β€œMerit is this new one. It's a solo dev who's building it. It's early. It has a lot of rough edges, but I think it's hinting at something really promising, which is, like, these human only social networks.” - Leighton (22:52)
    • β€œI would love to see a renaissance of airdrops. I think there should be no ownership of your network to 8,000,000 humans is an amazingly powerful thing.” - Leighton (23:55)
