MICROSTRATEGY ORANGE:

MicroStrategy Unveils Inscription-based DIDs Spec and Enterprise Platform. "Wouldn't it be great if instead of a blue check, green check, etc., there was an orange check that was a global standard? With MicroStrategy, maybe we could approach this idea of decentralized identity, with Bitcoin," Michael Saylor said in the announcement.

Vitor Pamplona: Microstrategy's Orange Decentralized Identity (DID:BTC) project is basically DID:ION, but it stores changes to the DID Document JSON as an OP_RETURN in the blockchain itself instead of on IPFS… POST: https://primal.net/e/note1ehrxlha9j407dd23ge6cwzksh8yez40sza6zd0qw760egwfz6nesxaye35

Vitor Pamplona: Saylor is trying to create a trust anchor. But since anyone can create their own DID:BTC without Microstrategy's approval (lots of spam), the anchor must be Microstrategy's KYC platform… POST: https://primal.net/e/note1aed2j7cdrdggc027jcgxar3vnl8gwf2qu7a6lwcfpadrzmtpfnxq7vg9s3

DID is just a way to make KYC feel more decentralized. POST: https://primal.net/e/note19qvy8580e000u6p39zjp3fmaw7f5dlap2k2w3mf7chc2nfmc0wuqc6clkm

ATTACK ON PRIVACY:

The bad news continues with Wasabi coordinator service shutting down. If you care about #Bitcoin privacy, look into JAM. It's an easier to use implementation of JoinMarket. Or you can do nothing with your UTXOs & hope for a better solution in the future. POST: https://twitter.com/Mandrik/status/1786085922674561071
