They say digital ID won’t be mandatory.
Maybe that’s true in the legal sense.
But if banking, healthcare, employment, travel, tax, identity verification, and essential services increasingly plug into one digital system…
what does “optional” actually mean?
Because nobody has to force adoption if opting out makes normal life difficult.
That’s the real question.
Convenience is how systems get adopted.
Speed is how people accept them.
Dependence is what comes next.
Would you choose not to use it if key parts of daily life increasingly expected it?
Curious where people stand on this.
