#What I find interesting is that crypto often celebrates vertical control. Groups like to say they are building an entire system. They want to own identity, verification, distribution, and relationships with users in a neat closed loop. Sounds efficient. Sounds ambitious. Sounds like a good investment. But I think the infrastructure of trust works differently. The more systems touch upon proof, qualify, and transfer value, the more its long-term power depends on whether outsiders believe it belongs to the market, not just the company behind it.

That is where my perspective on SIGN becomes more specific. I don't think its future depends on whether it can build many products around verification. I think its future depends on whether it can resist the temptation to make those products the center of gravity. That may sound counterintuitive, given the depth of the product #SIGNtoken
