About Podcast Episode
Customers need solutions, not SSI technology. We will struggle in fostering adoption if we try to sell SSI technology to end customers. We should rather focus on selling them solutions to business problems. For example, Slack sells productivity/collaboration tools to enterprises, not Internet technology or communication protocols.

-
Does Digital Identity still have an Identity problem? Why is terminology important to be used under the right contexts?
