Podcast Episode 54: Self-Sovereign Identity

Written by Peter H. Diamandis | Jun 4, 2018

 

Peter and Dan discuss a powerful use of the Blockchain: a basis for exponentially expanding trust among individuals within a global society. This could help the millions of people born without national documentation, who are stuck in no man’s land without an official identity.


 

 

In this episode:

  • Dan and Peter discuss a fundamental new political idea in which individuals would have self-sovereignty, and why the blockchain is the best place to securely store identification.
  • Peter describes reinventing democracy: a future where you can choose what sovereign association of individuals to be part of. In this digital existence, the individual decides how to spend time, income and even political votes.
  • Peter outlines a few industries that will be completely disrupted -- like real estate, the financial industry and politics -- when you cut out the middleman.
