It would be nice to not rely on central issuer of identity. What if we were responsible for collecting and proving our own chain of facts that are private, verifiable and hard to recreate. Each event signed and hashed into open timestamps. Change the file and the proof fails. Interconnected graph of attestations that can be selectively disclosed when it benefits the user. We have to design the system ourselves. No one is going to do it with you in mind. But maybe the governments will protect us we can relax.
