web 2: anonymity = difficult to separate the need for privacy vs deceit. Identity & content difficult to link (e.g. randoms pretending to be Elon / Vitalik on twitter) web 3: anonymity accepted (encouraged even?), assuming there can be KYC if needed. Able to link identity to content hopefully more effectively.

Web2 identity imo is very scattered. You have an identification for purpose. Web3 has infra without consolidation. A wallet address is enough to build your entire reputation. Think social security vs. drivers license vs. passport. Can be one wallet address but isn’t.

web2 - non-fungibility. reputation and identity do not follow the individual. web3 - lack of trust, in part due to widespread anonymity + speculative crypto culture.

Web2: The obvious siloed nature, centralized control / creation Web3: Key issues we are working to solve... mnemonics UX, interoperability among networks, lack of zero knowledge integrations Give this space a few more years and we'll be there!

I’m currently contributing to a few different web3 ID projects + building my own can confidently say that one of the biggest problems with web2 and web3 specs are interoperability standards are good but more is needed to make existing specs work together that’s what I’m aiming to fix, plus make it fun too

Identity should be based on your interests Web3 ownership allows you to “own your interests” and display them as part of your identity “I as owner of Cool Cats resonate with them for reason (…)” and can show the world that with my PFP Digital identity will go hand in hand with digital asset ownership

Web2 Identity - platform dependent (2 problems: 1, opt out of privacy to use the platform; 2, not interoperable or portable Web3 Identity - no defined standards, is a wallet an identity? An ENS? Soul Bound? VC?

web2 - geo-bound, government-issued/controlled, easy to game (someone gets hold of your SSN they can reek havoc) web3 - fragmented across diff chains, wallets, and bifurcated from web2 data (today no great way to link across). web3 identity to date has been address centric which typically doesnt tell us a whole lot
