gotta laugh at page 2 of the article
they dont want federated(masternode) blockchains. they want decentralised blockchains..
..but then
they talk about layer 2 things like lightning as the solution to holding all the data of 7billion people.
but here is the kicker
peoples names may only change a few times(marriage) in their life.
their date of birth never changes
credit rating may only change once a month/year
so layer 2, is not the solution. plus layer 2 is not an immutable blockchain, nor permissionless, nor individual control
i think microsoft is just throwing out buzzwords to garner investments before even having a prototype/design idea ready
all i can see from this article is speculators shouting "big corp mentions word bitcoin.. to the moon".. rather than anything revolutionary

Microsoft points to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin as three specific platforms that are suitable foundations for DIDs.
