one strange point. we've thought of the wallet as our new universal, interoperable identity in the web3 world. but, today, many users have multiple wallets/identities. which is just as cumbersome as having separate twitter/insta/pinterest identities. people may not even want the universal identity to begin with.

*totally* agree on this one. Thing is, if you think of the wallet itself (seed phrase) as an abstraction for a whole person (identity) then all of the potential derived public keys could be sub-identities. One controller, but with discretion to use the sub-IDs however they want!

whoa, is it possible to have multiple public keys that are derived from the same private key or seed phrase?

curious - what do you think are the refreshing differentiators against comparable web2 elements like google sso etc (aside from the common reasons like decentralization, etc)? I had 4 unique wallets with 4 seed phrases, and overwrote on two of them by mistake. just assessing practical lego pieces of web3

This is why Eth L2 is better than alt-L1s, identity-wise: a pubkey can have the same address across multiple L2s, but it likely has different address on alt-L1s. "Oh, it's the same address on this different L2 chain, it must be the same person."
