World has launched its biometric ID system stateside after years of regulatory hedging and global controversy. The promise of free crypto in exchange for your biometric data is now live in the U.S., courtesy of World, the eyeball-scanning project co-founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

It announced Wednesday that it is officially rolling out its orbs in six major American cities: Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, and San Francisco. While it toured its orbs around the U.S. in earlier promotional efforts, it stopped short of offering full services stateside.

The U.S. debut for World, formerly known as Worldcoin, comes far later than other jurisdictions across Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia.

I am sure this is a game-changing roll-up for World platform which is under the leadership of Sam Altman, giving us the convergence of AI, cryptocurrency, blockchain technology and the component called as "proof of human" and in return we are supposed to be getting something for the data we share with them.

What is your own opinion on this development...is this something we should embrace and cherish or be careful with treading?

I remember many months ago we discussed legal and privacy issue regarding Worldcoin on this news board. I guess it's one of reason they decide to rename "Worldcoin" into "World". I will continue to avoid this coin, while seeing price of WLD continue to going down.

It's an evolution that goes against the blockchain principles of respecting privacy and decentralization. The project is entirely centralized and aims to exploit customer data in exchange for promises of token profits.

Maybe I will avoid this coin, because in my opinion this coin is no longer following the blockchain principle where the owner's data will be known, maybe initially only on the WLD coin, but we don't know in the future whether we as crypto owners will always be safe.
