Why doesn’t every computer have a hardware based static ipv32 address, along with a private key to prove it is the sole owner of the address?

    The IP doesn’t persist across network hops and the MAC address isnt unique. A phone number is both.

      Static ips persist.

      MAC addresses can be banned

      Phone numbers can’t roam

      Phone numbers aren’t unique (area code)

      Wrong on all fronts.
