Imagine you want to sign up for a new mobile phone contract.
You go online, click through the steps, everything’s going smoothly –
until the screen suddenly freezes:
"Please confirm your identity using your government-issued E-ID."
Note: Your digital identity is currently not synchronized. Please contact your federal identity authority.
Alright. So you make a call.
After 22 minutes on hold, here’s what you hear:
"According to our system, there’s an address conflict. You are registered as living in both Zurich and Appenzell. That blocks access."
Okay... and the contract?
"Sorry. Without E-ID approval, nothing can be processed."
Welcome to the brave new world of centralized digital identity.
The E-ID is coming – whether you like it or not.
Switzerland is planning to relaunch the E-ID via federal legislation –
after the previous model was rejected at the ballot box.
The EU is even further ahead:
With the EU Digital Identity Wallet, you'll soon be required to identify yourself almost everywhere –
at the doctor’s office, on flights, at work, or when opening a bank account.
Sounds convenient?
It is – for the state.
Because whoever controls the infrastructure, sets the rules.
And eventually, the conditions too.
"You are who we say you are."
Centralized identities mean:
Your data is stored on servers you don’t own
Access is determined not by you, but by someone else
If something doesn’t “match,” you can be blocked – from contracts, travel, even voting
Right now, we still rely on paper IDs and physical documents.
But what happens when your home can only be unlocked via an app?
What happens when your bank account is tied to your digital ID?
And what if that ID suddenly lights up red – due to an error in your data?
This isn’t a conspiracy theory.
It’s digital reality.
Just not here yet.
Enter Infinity-Economics.
Now imagine it could be done differently:
You decide who gets which information
Your identity is stored in your own wallet – not in a government data center
You don’t need logins via third parties, no state portals, no approval process
Just your digital identity – verified by trusted sources, but controlled by you
This is called SSI – Self-Sovereign Identity.
And Infinity-Economics makes it possible. Surprised?
Here’s how it works:
You receive a digital credential from a trusted source –
such as your local municipality, a school, or an association.
Something like:
“This person exists and is real.”
This credential is not stored centrally – it stays with you only.
You decide when and where to use it – in full or just in parts.
Someone wants to verify you?
They only receive the necessary confirmation – not your full data.
It’s like a bouncer who just needs to know if you're 18 –
and instead of showing your ID, you simply prove your age.
No name. No address. No unnecessary information.
And now the big question: Why doesn’t everyone do it this way?
Because control is more comfortable than trust.
And because most people don’t realize how deeply they’re already caught in the digital net –
until someone pulls the plug.
But there are alternatives.
Infinity-Economics proves that democracy, identity, and digital sovereignty don’t have to be contradictions.
You just have to make it happen.
Conclusion:
If your existence depends on what a server confirms –
then it’s time to take your identity back.
With Infinity-Economics.
Because who you are should never depend on a login.
