The same as everyone else on the planet not desperate to sign up for a pump and dump scheme like crypto.

Same as my parents and your parents and their parents and everyone’s grandparents and the whole sum total of hundreds of years of human experience in what has been pretty much a prosperous economy.

But something tells me the whole internet couldn’t stop you from telling us all why we have it all wrong and should instead waste the energy output of Argentina on fake math problems to artificially create a coin…

Look, the problem with crypto is that while government backed currencies are somewhat abused by governments and financial firms, those two at least keep each other in check some of the time. Since crypto is completely unregulated, Wall Street can make it go up and down as it pleases. It's basically all Wall Street scrip.

Even if you believe that, and trust the people running these scanning stations, synthetic images generated from biometric hashes are still a thing, such as with Masquerade.

Fingerprint ID does not work with hashes, you need images. I've worked with NGOs and integrated biometric identification systems.

I haven't had to pull the iris data out but I'm certain they where also stored as bitmap images. In any case, the iris scanners most certainly sent images to us and not hashes. Why send an image if all you need is a hash?

In any case nobody outside can tell what some crypto scam is doing with those scans and I sure wouldn't trust them.
