Do You Trust WorldCoin Enough To Let Them Scan Your Retina? Most Americans Do Not. Especially Since Sam Altman Wants It To Be Used As A CBDC
OpenAI's Sam Altman launches Worldcoin crypto project
Worldcoin, a cryptocurrency project founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, launched on Monday.

The project has 2 million users from its beta period, and with Monday's launch, Worldcoin is scaling up "orbing" operations to 35 cities in 20 countries. As an enticement, those who sign up in certain countries will receive Worldcoin's cryptocurrency token WLD.
WLD's price rose in early trading on Monday. On the world's largest exchange, Binance, it hit a peak of $5.29 and at 1000 GMT was at $2.49 from a starting price of $0.15, having seen $25.1 million of trading volume, according to Binance's website.
With the XRP Lawsuit still fresh on everyone’s mind, and with Ripples price pumping, how likely is it that FedNow is Used By Ripple?
JPMorgan and Wells Fargo to Use Ripple (XRP) Partner's FedNow
JPMorgan and Wells Fargo are among the member banks that will utilize Ripple's partners FedNow; an instant payment system.

“Furthermore, FedNow is said to offer a framework for the forthcoming launch of a CBDC which is in no way good news for the crypto industry. But with Ripple having worked on a CBDC platform that can help governments launch their own CBDCs, this could drive adoption from governments, central banks, and financial institutions to issue digital currencies using Ripple’s technology.”
RFK Jr, DeSantis, Suarez, and Ramaswamy are all pro Bitcoin. Trump has been quiet(which is maybe good?) and Biden has toned down his messaging. Are we winning?
Bitcoin Is on the Ballot in 2024
A series of bitcoin-related statements and policy announcements show how politicians are paying greater attention to crypto this campaign season. Crypto-skeptics, in particular, should pay attention lest they come across as anti-innovation. This story is part of CoinDesk's Mining Week 2023.

In a sense, the anti-Bitcoin and anti-crypto rhetoric espoused by some in Washington DC has unwittingly created an ardent and oppositional voting bloc where one had not previously existed. Like any industry or community, Bitcoin and crypto supporters are diverse and varied in personal experience and political outlook. But anti-innovation policies continue to be viewed with mistrust by a growing pro-crypto cohort of Democrats, independents and Republicans who are willing to be single-issue voters if they feel that their livelihoods, investments, and ideological beliefs are in jeopardy.
