The idea of "sign everything" sounds like a logical continuation of the digital world: if every action can be recorded, then it can be verified. Likes, transactions, participation in events — everything turns into attestations. At first glance, this creates a transparent economy of trust. But the more signals there are, the harder it is to understand which ones truly matter.
We quickly arrive at an economy of excess data, where value shifts not towards quantity, but towards filtering. The attestation graph begins to resemble a noisy market, where everyone shouts about their "truth." In such a system, trust no longer grows automatically — it requires context and interpretation. The paradox is that the more data we record, the harder it becomes to believe them.
As a result, "sign everything" is not about control, but about responsibility for the design of signals. The question is no longer what can be recorded, but what truly deserves to be recorded.
