How to Create Your Identity Effortlessly on a Blockchain

You can create a social identity for yourself by creating a profile on a social networking site like Facebook. You can use that identity to seamlessly signup on Medium. You don’t have to re-enter first name, last name, etc. Medium integrates Facebook APIs and transfers your information with your consent.

But, what about creating your identity on the blockchain?

Creating an identity on a blockchain is not easy. Consider a bitcoin wallet, you need to generate a private key and a public key. But, look at this public key, does it speak for you?

You need an identity that communicates your personality or individuality.
