And now this attacker out of probably Lagos in Nigeria is taunting her that he's ruined her life. And she goes... I need help. The reason banks can see that is banks can help. The reason that IDME can see that is IDME can help. We can provide recourse to the victim. We can also go back to the government agency and go, here's the audit trail of what we saw.

This woman was not involved with any of this stuff or to the 401k provider in this case and say, this is what happened. And now there's feedback loops. There's learning about what happened. For some reason, people are losing their minds when it comes to digital identity, that there are just different forms of risk and what's good changes based on that risk.

If you say it's decentralized, you can't see it, what you've actually said is there is no recourse for victims, there is no audit trail for the government, and if these really terrible things happen, you're on your own, which I think is unacceptable. So we actually think it's both. It doesn't have to be this monolithic trade-off. If you actually know what you're solving for,

then if the attack surface is global and the risk is financial, you have to have a centralized entity like a major bank or a credit card network that can see things to provide feedback loops and protection to both customers and users. You start to deal with things where the risk is different, then all bets are off. But that's how I think about the approach, which is it's good.

It's also limited in terms of what it'll allow you to do when it comes to online transactions.

Yeah, in five years, I wouldn't want there to be logins that you would have to create at every single website you would go to. The same way that when you open up your laptop and you're just able to open up Word and you're able to open up Adobe and all these other systems, I think you should be able to open up Coinbase or Chase or Social Security or IRS's apps.

And then the flip side of that is, as we are able to label and tag more content, we're able to help people navigate really difficult life events like disaster relief in LA right now. What's really interesting is every use case around like this is what is needed to access it. Like you've got to be a doctor for a prescription app or you have to be in a disaster zone for FEMA aid and everything else.

There's going to be some access policies that we need to know about in order to make sure that you're you and that we've established trust to the right level. But also, how do we help you find out about those programs when you don't know about them? And this is actually the other part of the story.

When I was first starting, there was about $750 million of combat pay that had been approved by Congress to soldiers who were stop-lossed and voluntarily extended. Congress approved it like two more years. And at the end of it, about a quarter of a billion dollars went unclaimed because government just couldn't get the word out.

All these service members had to do is fill out a form, and they would get $5,000. It was crazy. And a quarter of a billion dollars of combat pay went expired. So the same thing is likely happening right now in LA.
