For some time, I have daydreamed of various cool scenarios that would only be possible with a government-issued digital ID.
But in my daydreams, I've never considered a third-party government issuer. I don't see value in this beyond the value that I see in a corporate-issued digital ID, and that's hardly more valuable than a self-issued ID.
Obviously, Estonia has considered some angle which I have not.
I think the angle is that it allows a business presence in the EU and Eurozone for essentially anyone.
