🧵 One perspective on Worldcoin

Hi,

I am away with my family this week, so I asked EV member Keith Teare to share his perspective on Worldcoin, Sam Altman’s controversial UBI project, with us. Keith is an investor, writer, and has previously experimented with UBI. I have known Keith since 1994 when he was running Cyberia, one of the world’s first cybercafes, in London, and have met up with him in Silicon Valley, where he is now based, a number of times.

Worldcoin has raised many eyebrows since first becoming public in 2021 — please join Keith in using the space in EV this week to debate, challenge and propose new ways to think about this incredibly ambitious project.

The rest of the newsletter is all Keith, so please enjoy!
