I just mean the post lacks some basic info which would encourage people to follow the link. If someone knows what WorldCoin is and have heard of it being banned then perhaps the title alone seems enough, but image if they don’t.

Don’t see why this is getting downvoted.
It’s a solid article about a crypto-scheme. The goons who run the scheme are affiliated with Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI.

Exactly. I’m not interested in Altman’s iris-scanning coin, but the article itself is pretty decent.

Lemmy has many anti-crypto ideologues who think that “crypto” is a “scam” across the board.
So, when an actual flagrant scam is exposed, they don’t want to talk about it because it shows how other cryptos aren’t actually a scam (although maybe a bad “investment”). It’s impossible to maintain ideological purity while recognizing any nuance.

Sorry, you’re pitching this to the wrong person.
I am one of those people that think that there only two use cases for crypto:
Financial speculation
Criminal activities; fraud, sanctions busting, international crime gang operationa
I disagree with the way you use the term ideologue. It is reasonable to view crypto as being defined solely by the two abovementioned use cases.

Can you explain more? Clicking a link with so little context is…
Sure, what do you wanna know?

This is not a purely ideological viewpoint.
