People should be signing up to websites with Bitcoin addresses and nothing else.

Howdy, Bitcoiners!

I just thought of a wonderful idea to change how we sign up for online accounts.

Here's the problem with today's online account signups, especially for places like Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Google, etc:

First Name
Last Name
Email
Password
Address 1
Address 2
Town/City
State/Zip
Country
Phone
State ID Number
Social Security Number
Bank Account

This is what I should be filling out:

Bitcoin Address
Complicated Password

Here's what I'm getting at here: I don't like my personal information online, and I already have too many online accounts to keep in track of. If every website (obviously Facebook would see this as a problem) relied on Bitcoin addresses to sign up for accounts, such as Spotify, Hulu, that type of thing...we would all be anonymous on the web, and decentralized when it comes to online accounts, whether the online accounts are centralized or not.

Think of your Bitcoin address as an anonymous OpenID.

On my U2 system it is possible to sign in without email...

Many members save an email address even it is facultative.
