The post Worldcoin Crash Coming? Key Levels To Watch appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

One of the biggest reasons Worldcoin’s price could face sustained downward pressure is the growing controversy around its core concept: universal digital identity. Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum and one of the crypto space’s most respected thinkers, has openly warned that platforms like Worldcoin pose a real threat to the pseudonymity that has defined internet and crypto culture for decades.  In his detailed critique, Buterin points out that even with advanced privacy technologies like zero-knowledge proofs, Worldcoin’s “one-person-one-ID” system could slowly dismantle the freedom users have to operate under multiple pseudonymous profiles. This concern isn’t just philosophical — it has practical and political implications that could trigger regulatory pushback and user distrust. If millions of people realize that linking their entire online footprint to a single biometric ID makes them vulnerable to surveillance or coercion, adoption could stall, and those who already hold WLD tokens may choose to exit. Even the promise of universal proof-of-personhood loses its appeal if the trade-off is an irreversible erosion of online privacy. Additionally, Buterin’s warning about coercion highlights a deep weakness in Worldcoin’s pitch. If governments, employers, or large platforms can force people to link all their online activities to one World ID, that ID becomes a single point of failure. Any breach, misuse, or abuse could expose a user’s entire digital life, shattering confidence in the system overnight. In the crypto world, trust is everything — and once trust erodes, token prices tend to follow. The market also knows that Worldcoin isn’t the only answer to fake accounts and bots. Buterin’s “pluralistic identity” vision offers a compelling alternative, where multiple tools — social graphs, wallets, passports, biometrics — coexist. If developers and users flock to this more flexible approach, Worldcoin’s core utility could weaken, dragging its token value down with it. Finally, the…
