My mother has a smartphone. She's 79, she's on our advisory board, and she uses it every day.

I was explaining the new identity wallet to her — how it works, what it replaces, why it matters.

She listened to the whole thing and then asked:

"And what do my friends do?"

Five words, and none of them were about her.

Three of her closest friends don't have a smartphone. One had one and gave it up. They still buy wine. They still collect prescriptions. They still need to prove who they are.

Every system I've seen answers the question for her and stops there.

If Oma understands it, everyone does.

hashID is how you get to be yourself, without having to explain yourself.
And you live it every day. With your people. And with everything you do.
