The "Evergrowing User Profile": How Your Digital Identity Appreciates in Value(reddit.com)
TL;DR: In Web2, your data loses value as it gets sold repeatedly. In Web3, using tools like ONTO Wallet, your verified digital identity becomes an "evergrowing user profile" that appreciates in value the more you interact on chain. In the traditional tech ecosystem, your personal data is a depreciating asset. Once a data broker scrapes your profile and sells it to advertisers, its unique value diminishes. You have no control over its distribution, and you certainly don't see any of the profits. Web3 introduces a radical new concept: the "Evergrowing User Profile." By using a decentralized identity platform like ONTO Wallet (powered by ONT ID), your digital footprint is securely anchored to your cryptographic identity. Every on-chain interaction, verified credential, and piece of consented metadata adds to this profile. Because this profile is verified (proving you are a real human) and privacy protected (using zkTLS), it becomes highly attractive to AI developers seeking premium training data. Instead of depreciating, your profile appreciates in value as it grows richer and more detailed, allowing you to command higher rewards in the decentralized data market. Q: What makes an "evergrowing profile" valuable to AI? A: AI models need deep, longitudinal data from verified humans to understand complex behaviors and avoid the pitfalls of synthetic data training. Q: Can I delete my profile if I change my mind? A: Yes. Data sovereignty means you have the right to revoke access and manage your credentials at any time through your ONTO Wallet. Q: How do I start building one? A: Simply create an ONT ID within the ONTO Wallet and begin interacting with supported dApps and credential verification services.

How would I find out if/where crypto I bought might be accessed?(reddit.com)
Hello. I'm moving and as I was packing/throwing stuff away I found a sealed envelope that said "[my name] crypto - do not throw away" on the front. Inside there is a piece of paper with 12 seemingly random words and at the top it says "all lowercase". I don't remember buying crypto, but maybe I did in the 2010's? If I do have crypto somewhere how can I find out where it is? Is there a "wallet" or other storage solution that specifically uses 12 word passwords? Would I have some email somewhere that would let me know I made an account somewhere? Thanks for all your help. EDIT: the envelope wasn't sent to me. I hand wrote all the words on a piece of paper and put it in the envelope at some point. submitted by /u/bbk13 [link] [Kommentare]
The reality of bitcoin / crypto(reddit.com)
For years now many of us have asked (or are still asking) “is this legit? a scam?” “when is it gonna boom?“ “is there a future in bitcoin?” and so on, to which the subreddit answer often comes from one of three factions: a hard “yes” from holders who dive into the nuances of statistics (mining performance, decentralized governance etc in full support etc), short term traders emphasizing the potential of timing the pump and dump casino, and the traditional traders who don’t trust it at all. The simpler truth is, “BTC” was never meant to be traded like a stock—it‘s just a digital currency. You can look at the initial boom as the transition from mostly paper registers to signs that say “cashless payments only.” Of course people who bet on it early were going to get a nice chunk of change as more and more people started using apple pay. Bitcoin is basically a decentralized Visa prepaid card. I’m not saying it’s valuable or not valuable, I don’t know what it’s gonna do, but if you view the bitcoin market as if a whole lot of people suddenly invested in the peso, yeah it’s gonna look volatile and different from another stock as well as less stable than a currency. Anyways… just some food for thought. Maybe for some of you a xanax. I’d love to hear your opinions for or against cryptocurrency :) submitted by /u/salieut [link] [Kommentare]
