When someone claims "zero knowledge proof" as a solution to some problem, it's safe to assume they have zero knowledge of security or cryptography until proven otherwise. #identity #trust #privacy #blockchain #snakeoil #vaporware #bullshit

@hackylawyER @BKCHarvard Fantastic perspective. Anyone who doesn’t understand what Elizabeth is saying here probably shouldn’t be allowed to handle personal data, create software, or lay a finger on blockchain.
