Updated Version
Hop aboard, folks! The long-awaited World project, backed by none other than Sam Altman, has finally set sail in six americas cities: Atlanta, Austin, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, and San Francisco. And guess what? You can snag yourself some fancy-schmancy WLD tokens – just by scanning your peepers at those high-tech Orbs!
Now, we know what you're thinking: "Privacy concerns? You bet your sweet bippy we've got 'em covered!" The Orbs are cranking away, thanks to big daddy NVIDIA, and they'll be popping up in specific areas and partner locations, like Razer stores across the land of the free.
Remember the hubbub about these iris-scanners digging into our precious privacy? Yep, Brazil and Hong Kong raised quite a stink over it. Fret not! Our pals at the World project made a promise to allow you to wipe those iris codes clean – poof! No more World ID for ya!
Interested in some juicy deets about your digital identity? The Worldcoin team is throwing you the keys! Their Personal Custody feature ensures that all your personal data stays tucked away, safe and sound, on your trusty device, and never gets whisked off to their server or a third party's lair. Whew, that's a relief!
In even more exciting news, Worldcoin will be partnering up with Visa to create a shiny new debit card, up for grabs for all those verified users of the World App. Spend your hard-earned WLD tokens with ease at merchants who accept Visa card payments. No need to cash out, just pay away!
But wait, there's more! You'll have the luxury of receiving a snazzy new card linked to your unique World ID. When it's officially available, grab your piece of the action!
At the time of this write-up, WLD has taken a bit of a dive, dropping 2.33% in the past 24 hours. With a value of $1.05 and a whopping market cap of nearly $1.4 billion, it's still a force to be reckoned with, enjoying a weekly growth of 23.59%.
Here's a twist in the tale: Hong Kong's data privacy watchdog has brought some heat to the Worldcoin project. Accusations of violating data laws have been flying! But the show must go on, right? With all these ups and downs, it's safe to say that the World project is far from a bore!
