Users of SSI will still need a trusted issuer, one that the verifier trusts. And if verifiers decide to migrate towards a mega issuer such as google, then google and facebook could still corner the VC issuing market. Especially if today's existing trusted issuers in the physical world don't get their act together and start to issue VCs in the virtual world. David
