This is why I’m convinced we’ll see a lot more “plaintext-first” apps going forward.

As agents take over more of our workload, it becomes increasingly important to store the data in a dumb and simple format that’s easy to diff and verify.

I talked about some of this at LocalFirstConf: https://youtu.be/2ZEBH5Clrnc

The only way this could work would be to force people to register their wallet address using some kind of government ID to prove that they are unique. But at that point you’re back to having created a completely centralised system.
