Ethereum co-founder has raised four primary concerns of Worldcoin: privacy, accessibility, centralization, and security.
While Worldcoin's Proof-of-Personhood (PoP) system is designed to authenticate unique users without revealing personal data, Buterin warns that any data leak could lead to misuse of identity information. He also points out that accessibility is an issue, as participation requires physical access to a device called "Orb," potentially limiting the project's reach. Lastly, he mentions security risks such as phone hacking and coercion to scan irises.
Despite these concerns, Buterin does see the value in the concept of Worldcoin, and suggests a combination of social-graph-based, general-hardware biometric, and specialized-hardware biometric techniques as a potential solution.

Alphapo's client, HypeDrop, has subsequently suspended withdrawals, noting issues with both withdrawals and deposits of BTC, ETH, and TRX. Despite the situation, HypeDrop assured users that their funds remain secure.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has recently deleted a substantial number of his tweets from the years 2015 to 2018. Additionally, the digital archive of the World Wide Web, known as the WayBackMachine, has also removed its archive of his tweets.
These tweets from that period covered a range of topics, including Brian expressing his support for increasing Bitcoin’s block size, referring to altcoins as distractions, discussing “replay attacks” on Coinbase, highlighting Ethereum’s price surge after its listing on Coinbase, questioning the full collateralization of Tether, and endorsing USDC, among other things.
As a result of the deletions, these tweets now only exist in the form of screenshots that were captured and shared by others during that time. 
This decentralized protocol has suffered a loss of nearly $455,000 owing to a flaw in its code. All activities relating to contracts have been put on hold for now.
