"One blink, and your identity unlocks a programmable wallet.
That’s the latest message from writer and journalist Whitney Webb.

Governments and global institutions are standardizing digital IDs built on biometrics, then wiring those IDs to your money. In this model, your face, fingerprints, or iris confirm every transaction and gate access to basic services.

The stated goal is inclusion through Know Your Customer or KYC rules and safer payments. The design also concentrates power, since the same ID can switch your wallet on or off. But it doesn’t end there. The next phase links identity, wallets, and policy in one infrastructure.

Make sure to stick around until the end of the video as Whitney Webb maps how digital IDs and central bank rails converge, and why that matters for your day-to-day freedom." -(Jamie Tree).
