Relevant: The Only Social Network Built On Trust

"The societal implications of an open-access, reliable record of someone’s participation in the world are immense. A POAP collection at some level can be assembled to represent a hyper-granular image of a passionate collector’s life in real time."

Really really interesting. The article talks about how POAP collections can generate positive externalities and social cohesion, but I wonder if people will begin to expand their POAP collection as a way to show how much more accomplished, wealthy, and popular they are than others. Reading the article reminded me of a white paper I read a long time ago about the beginnings of social media as a way to bring people together; however, we broadly know and have data that supports how social media has had many negative effects on people’s self esteem and sense of self worth. What do other people think about having a POAP collection?

I like the positive effects of a new and more efficient way of demonstrating experience/competence away from the usual 'X' document from 'X' institution. I also like that we can add another social layer via proof of attendance at social events, which might encourage more positive social activities/groups and facilitate group cohesion. Yes some people will try to flex with this, which by itself isn't a bad thing if done for the right reasons, but it might get polluted by bad intentions, hubris and financial rewards. I much prefer this decentralisation of logging achievements because legacy systems are obviously invested in promulgating the thought that their certificates are the only way to determine experience/qualifications, which is clearly not the case in alot of respects. Obviously we have to be careful how far this goes as there is a spectrum of social credit systems. One end is the authoritarian/centralised creditation system (think China) and the other end is highly decentralised with lots of fluidity/opportunity/recourse which I kind of see crypto representing if done correctly.
