Comment on Sam Altman’s Worldcoin wants to scan eyeballs in exchange for cryptoparent

I wish I were joking, but a quick search yielded the “Save Planet Earth Crypto Token” — what a no bullshit name — that’s basically tied to planting trees somehow someway. Apparently the roadmap to saving planet earth includes “Development/Release of v1 SavePlanetEarth Android/iOS App”, “Development of revolutionary v2 SavePlanetEarth Android/iOS App”, “SavePlanetEarth Merch”, etc.

There actually are projects that could have a more tangible impact on the environment, if anyone is curious. KlimaDAO is essentially connecting carbon offset and credit markets directly to crypto and forming a black hole of buy pressure. In places where such schemes are law, it could make emissions much more expensive over time.

If I want to buy carbon offsets why would I not just buy them from a farm/landowner? What does crypto do for me that I can’t do with a dollar bill?

This is creating a black hole of buy-side pressure for any and all carbon offsets that they work with(see their documentation for which). Broadening the carbon offset market is a good thing.
