In my opinion, the current state of the DID Method registry may not be an
ideal fit for the UN. Many of the methods in the registry are supported and
developed by Crypto Securities, with some being unregistered securities,
which is against securities law.

Some projects, like doge (did:doge), have been involved in questionable
activities such as rug pulls, which have hurt many people. The promotion of
such projects within the community could harm the reputation of the
registry.

The US government is taking legal action against projects like Tron
(did:trx) and others in a similar situation. The UN, being closely aligned
with nation states and CBDCs, is in direct competition with these projects
and is actively pursuing them.

Despite having the W3C logo, the DID Method Registry's reputation is not in
the best standing, especially with ongoing legal battles involving
high-value lawsuits. This puts the registry at odds with the UN and nation
states.

Improving the DID Method Registry by focusing on legal technology and
removing questionable projects could help align it better with
organizations like the UN.
