Peter Theil has been getting a bunch of flack for his support of Donald Trump. I was kind of thought of myself in the group that was giving him flack. (although I didn’t say anything myself I think I Retweeted a few things by people in the flack department).
LISTENING to Theil defend his support of Trump actually was illuminating.
He is supporting Trump for the big things he gets right. “Free Trade” isn’t working out so well for middle America. “Not everyone benefits and the Trump voters know it” – ok super reasonable things to say. Also super strange for “Mr. libertarian” to be talking about.
Being at war for 16 years. 2million people lost lives and over 5000 American soldiers are dead 50 billion dollars bring democracy to Iraq and squandered 40x as much to bring about chaos. – also super reasonable and speaking truth.
Here is the excerpt that I listened to on Bloomberg Technology.
Your guide to Self-Sovereign Identity!
A comprehensive analysis of the technology, standards, projects, and companies that use blockchain for identity.
With Self Sovereign Identity, use Blockchain to enable a decentralized digital identity paradigm across the Internet.
Digital identity is an infrastructure necessary to do most everything on the Internet. Companies own the digital identities of the people that use their services. Centralized databases are a security risk for cyberattacks; not to mention the low integrity of stored data, and users have little to no control of how their data is secured.
This book will jumpstart your understanding of the industry; introduce you to the main technology, ledgers, wallets and projects; and help you understand how the pieces fit together.
