Rethinking Digital Identity: Is There a Path That Preserves Freedom?

Rethinking Digital Identity: Is There a Path That Preserves Freedom?

I’ve always been, and still am, completely opposed to the idea of digital IDs as pushed by the WEF, the UN, the EU, and all the other unelected technocrats who seem to believe we were born to be tagged, tracked, and rated like livestock. The model they’re proposing is clear: a top-down surveillance tool wrapped in the language of “convenience,” which in reality serves one purpose only: to control. You don’t need to look any further than China’s social credit system to understand where this is headed. A digital ID that links to your digital wallet, your vaccine status, your online behaviour, your biometric data… that’s not innovation, that’s a prison.

We can’t afford to shy away from technology, nor pretend it isn’t the direction the world is moving in. Technology is the future. It always has been. But like every tool that’s ever shaped civilisation, it’s a double-edged sword. Fire can cook your food, or burn your house down. A sword can protect the innocent, or serve a tyrant. And the same applies here. The question is never just what the tool is, but who’s holding it, and what their intentions are.

So it’s not about rejecting technology outright. It’s about insisting that it serves us. That it enhances life without compromising our humanity. That it protects our privacy, preserves our freedom, and respects our sovereignty, instead of eroding it.

And that’s why I want to ask:
What if the concept of a digital ID wasn’t inherently evil, but it simply depended on who controlled it?

In a recent interview, Charles Hoskinson (founder of Cardano) spoke about an entirely different kind of digital identity—one built not by the state, but by the individual. A decentralized, blockchain-based system where you own your credentials, you decide what information is shared and when, and you hold the keys, not some centralized authority with backdoor access to every aspect of your life. No intermediaries, no corporate gatekeepers, no state surveillance. Just a secure, private way to authenticate who you are, on your terms.

In a world that’s moving rapidly toward digital infrastructure whether we like it or not, maybe the real battle isn’t whether digital identity exists, but how it exists, and who it serves.

Imagine being able to prove your age without sharing your birthdate. Imagine accessing services without exposing your location or biometric data. Imagine a future where your digital interactions are verifiable, but your personal data is never surrendered. That’s not what the globalists want, but it is what certain blockchain technologies are trying to create.

So maybe the question isn’t: “Are you for or against digital IDs?” Maybe it’s: “Are you for centralized control or individual sovereignty?”

Because those two cannot coexist.

And if we don’t build the infrastructure for freedom, rest assured, they will build the infrastructure for control.
