        If it’s decentralized, you’re original point about companies being able to get hacked doesn’t apply anymore

            The current ID system we have - social security numbers - are infinitely worse. Add 1 to it and it’s another valid SSN. Most of the numbers can be determined with regional info

                No one’s paying me anything, and I’m well informed of the civil liberty issues surrounding government IDs in general, let alone digital or paper.

                What I am referencing is decentralized digital ID. There is no ominous they or third party who could control you with a decentralized digital ID. We already have a pretty shitty ID system, but a better ID system with less centralized control can exist

                    Everything is hackable, even the current form of id we have which is SSN. Decentralized digital ID is orders of magnitude harder to hack, and has even less government control over the ID process. The expectation value to crack modern encryption is measured on eons even if you’re using all the power in the sun and physically perfect efficiency in energy to computation conversion
