At the Ethereum Community Conference (EthCC), Status Community Coordinator Samuel Hawksrob delivered a presentation on the Warcraft Stage about the importance of owning one's identity. In his talk, Hawksrob emphasized that in a world dominated by large corporations, maintaining control over one's identity is a revolutionary act. He highlighted that this level of ownership and control can be achieved through the use of Status, a Web3 platform. The presentation aligns with Status' commitment to individual and community self-sovereignty, as previously outlined in their blog posts about tokenized community ownership and decentralized community management features.
