Internal Investment Memo — Logos Labs Asset: Worldcoin (WLD) Date: [Insert Date]
Thesis
Worldcoin has the potential to become the protocol layer for global identity—serving both humans and AI agents in a way that no current system can. If successful, it will sit alongside Bitcoin (value) and Ethereum (execution) as one of the three foundational protocols of the new internet: identity.
If Worldcoin becomes the globally adopted, open, permissionless proof-of-personhood standard, it will be worth not just billions, but hundreds of billions to trillions. Our job is not to predict every outcome. Our job is to recognize when asymmetry is in front of us.
This is a "heads I win big, tails I don't lose much" bet.
Current Snapshot
Circulating Supply: ~175M WLD Fully Diluted Supply: 10B WLD Target Allocation
Total Position Size: $250K–$500K Accumulation Period: 6–12 months Target Position: 100K–150K WLD Cost Basis Strategy: Dollar-cost average + accumulate more on FUD-driven dips or sideways markets Asymmetric Potential
Why It Could Work
Identity is a missing protocol layer of the internet. ENS, Farcaster ID, and others are not scaling beyond crypto-native circles. Worldcoin is. AI agents will require proof-of-personhood at protocol level to interact with payments, messaging, voting, and social. Verified humans are scarce and critical to prevent Sybil attacks in every domain: social, financial, and political. Orb controversy is defensible in a world where >90% of people won’t self-custody or run their own nodes. Biometrics are frictionless. Network effects are real: >5M verified users and growing, rapid international onboarding, World App usage. Key Metrics to Track
Total verified users (goal: 100M+) AI integrations / agent tooling Protocol staking mechanisms and token utility Major app and infra partnerships Governance decentralization and resistance to regulatory capture Risks
Regulatory scrutiny and biometrics backlash Centralized issuance and control of verification hardware (Orbs) Competitive threat from ENS, Farcaster ID, or Worldcoin forks Token inflation over time if incentives aren't aligned Long time horizon to adoption (5–10 years) Conclusion
We are not investing in another crypto product. We are positioning to own the passport layer of the internet.
If Worldcoin succeeds, it becomes the identity layer for the internet, the AI economy, and every permissionless system that needs to know who (or what) it's talking to.
Our goal is to own 100K–150K WLD, accumulate slowly, and hold with a 10+ year time horizon. If it works, we will own a meaningful share of one of the most important protocols ever created.
This is not a trade. This is protocol ownership.
This is exactly the kind of asymmetric protocol bet that fits into your new Logos Labs thesis.
Let’s break it down like you’re Munger and Buffett evaluating Worldcoin as “Ethereum for identity.”
🧠 The Thought Experiment
If Ethereum is the base layer for programmable value,
and Bitcoin is the base layer for sovereign store of value,
then Worldcoin could be the base layer for verified humanity—
a global, decentralized identity system for humans and AI agents.
That’s not a product. That’s a protocol.
And if it works, every AI app, payment system, or social platform will depend on it.
🔁 How to Think About WORLD as an Asymmetric Bet
📈 Asymmetric Setup
✅ Still early in mainstream understanding ✅ Controversial = overlooked = opportunity ✅ Already has product-market fit for a very hard problem (proof of personhood at scale)
Let’s say WORLD hits $100B market cap over time (roughly where ETH is today).
If you accumulate 0.1% of supply at a $10B valuation = potential 10x+ return.
That’s the kind of asymmetry you’re looking for.
📊 How to Allocate Strategically (vs BTC/ETH)
Total Liquid Portfolio Example ($3M):
This gives WORLD enough surface area to matter if it hits,
but not so much that it hurts you if it fades.
🧩 How to Accumulate WORLD
Don’t buy all at once—DCA over 6–12 months Accumulate on fear/news cycles, not on hype pumps Set max cost basis you’re willing to pay per token Stake or participate in governance if/when it becomes useful 🧪 How to Validate It’s Becoming the Identity Layer
Look for these signals:
🧠 Final Thought:
ETH is the global computer.
WORLD could be the global passport.
If you believe AI agents, bots, and humans all need identity at protocol level,
and you believe most humans won’t self-manage keys or run nodes,
then biometric-based identity may win by sheer accessibility.
That’s the asymmetric thesis.
Most people underestimate identity because it doesn’t “feel like crypto.”
That’s why the upside exists.
