I like decentralized identity though I feel like it either needs a killer app that uses it or a better value proposition. As it stands, I don’t see non-technical people jumping to it unless they have a technical friend telling them too. I hope someone can tell me I’m missing something.

I think this will be part of a much larger social movement--the distribution of trust across networks as an incremental improvement over the gateway/database/single-point-of-failure model we've organized ourselves around right now.

I presented a little bit about this (how decentralized identity & decentralized apps intersect) here: https://decentralizedsummit.com/agenda/duane-johnson/
