Sam Altman, the founder of Worldcoin, released a video displaying long queues for $50 worth of Worldcoins, countering assertions of declining interest in the AI cryptocurrency.

Despite the initial surge of 200% in token value during its highly anticipated launch, some crypto experts argue that Worldcoin lacks long-term growth potential and is considered low-value crypto.

Worldcoin Tweet Raises Questions About the Orb

A video has emerged showing a long queue of people surrounding what some believe to be an Orb, speculated to offer retina scans for WLD tokens. However, doubts about its legitimacy remain, as it’s unclear if the Orb actually functions as described. Cointelegraph has contacted Sal Altman for comments, but no response has been received.

According to the Worldcoin whitepaper, the Orb is a retina scan device used to create a World ID, serving as proof of personhood. Users who participate will receive WLD tokens, offering potential benefits such as involvement in decentralized governance. The Orb has been designed by “Tools of Humanity” and incorporates custom hardware to enhance accuracy and prevent spoofing.

STOP NOW – Reacts Twitter

The introduction of Worldcoin has faced criticism due to its VC backing and tokenomics favoring developers and investors, raising concerns in the post-FTX era. Crypto experts, including Peruvian Bull, have voiced their opposition, fearing that Worldcoin might pave the way for the global adoption of CBDCs.

you are opening the door to global CBDCs.

STOP NOW, for all our sakes.

You do not understand what is at risk.

Numerous individuals are likening Worldcoin to a Black Mirror episode, drawing parallels between the unscanned and unvaccinated in terms of treatment.

Several tweets express strong disapproval of Worldcoin, with PetaByte’s tweet suggesting Sam Altman’s exploitation of struggling economies where $50 represents a monthly wage.
