Worldcoin Refutes Reports of Insufficient Influx of New Users

As evidence, one of the startup's executives, Sam Altman, shares a video from Japan showing a long queue at an eye retina scanning machine, claiming that registrations are happening every 8 seconds.

It's worth noting that there's an ongoing promotional campaign where every participant who undergoes the scanning procedure receives 25 WLD (approximately $50). Some consider this an unfair exchange of personal data for mere tokens.

Moreover, some experts in the crypto community argue that despite its fantastical appeal and seeming leap towards the metaverse, there could be a backlash following the first instance of personal data fraud.

Meanwhile, Worldcoin has not provided any comments, in response to Cointelegraph's inquiry, regarding the alleged insufficient influx of new registered users.

Considering the current WLD token price (around $2.3), potential investors have decided to hold back their funds and observe how the situation unfolds.

All of this takes place amidst close scrutiny from the British regulator, expressing concerns over the safety of biodata usage.

Clever stuff...

Spooky 👻 action at a distance or bioresonance is what we use to find what is really happening in the body.

From reading a few clean nail clippings/cuttings we can read your hair cuticle and test for toxic metals in the body.

We can even test the blood form those same clean nail clippings/cuttings for other things like vitamins, minerals amina acids and hormones.

Ask me about this.

Biometrics is the most suitable means of identifying and authenticating individuals in a reliable and fast way through unique biological characteristics. Unlike traditional authentication methods like passwords or PINs, which can be easily forgotten or stolen, biometrics relies on inherent and distinctive attributes of a person. These attributes are difficult to replicate, making biometric authentication a powerful tool for ensuring the integrity and security of sensitive information, physical access control, and various other applications.
