I was horrified when I saw the news that there were a lot of people queuing up because they were being paid I think 100 euros in that cryptocurrency. You have to see how people are capable of selling the most intimate part of their privacy very cheaply.
Worldcoin is only a matter of time but to me they are not different, if Bitcoin is strictly based on decentralization without KYC and people's information and yet it has grown to this level, then the government has every right to suspend their operations. Who knows if they are going to sell these data and information when they go broke.

Worldcoin is a fraud from the beginning of that project. This remind me of On my way! Project called studentcoin, today the project is clearly a hype that stolen not only users funds but stolen many student kyc across the globe just for some wasted project, the token has no volume and almost delisted in all over the centralized exchanges.

At a crypto conference in Tokyo, people on Tuesday queued in front of a gleaming silver globe flanked by placards stating: "Orbs are here." Applicants lined up to have their irises scanned by the device, before waiting for the 25 free Worldcoin tokens the company says verified users can claim.https://www.reuters.com/technology/verified-human-worldcoin-users-queue-up-iris-scans-2023-07-25/
Users told Reuters they weighed concerns over data collection against their curiosity about the project, which says it has issued IDs for more than two million people in 120 countries, mostly during a trial period in the last two years
Unfortunately, it is much less than 100 euros
According to this article, it turns out that they obtained only 25 tokens of the currency, which is equivalent to about $75!!! very cheap!!!
Yeah people are over-greedy even in rich Western countries. It is just crazy to sell your private info and data for 100 EUR in my opinion. I know some people are poor everywhere, I was myself not rich being born in a Western country, but I would more understand someone with a third world country cost-of-life selling his data for this price than a Spanish guy doing the same.I do not think it is about the price, but rather a lack of awareness about the importance of personal data or the feeling that it is not worth much, especially since it is requested when you open a bank account, create a commercial register for a company, obtain a data card, and sometimes even a fuel card.
But as this is news from 19 February, perhaps the difference is due to the fluctuation in the price of the token.
Well, I wouldn't say it makes much difference. In percentage terms it is, because as of today $75 is 68.5 euros, but the difference between 100 and 68.5 still doesn't matter to me. It's a level of money at which I don't even think about selling my privacy under any circumstances.I understand you, of course, it's not about the price, but I wanted to say that they are willing to give up their privacy for much less than 100 euros. Of course the price doesn't matter at all.
I was sure I had seen in the news that it was 100 euros, here for example you have one:
