Argentina, with 288% inflation, has become a hotspot for Worldcoin's cash-for-iris-scans scheme. Worldcoin offers $50 in crypto for biometric data, leading to a network of intermediaries in Argentina. The project has attracted many, including people with low income, offering a lifetime paycheck for an eye scan. Over half a million Argentines, more than 1% of the population, have participated in the scheme, with recruiters earning commissions for each eyeball scan. Buenos Aires is targeting Worldcoin with an eye scanning biometric law amid the scheme's popularity in the country.
