On the evening of April 30th, the hottest ticket in San Francisco was a buzzy crypto startup’s coming-out party at a warehouse-like complex on the northern edge of the city. It had all the makings of an event you’d only find near Silicon Valley: Anderson Paak, champagne, and a bunch of eye-scanning orbs.
Onstage, Sam Altman and co-founder Alex Blania announced that the cryptocurrency Worldcoin is coming to the US for the first time, along with a bevy of orbs. The idea is straight out of science fiction. It may be too far-fetched to work, but given Altman’s involvement, it’s something worth paying attention to.
