@patrickleavy @signalapp Signal supports and peddles a crypto"currency", i.e., a techbro pyramid scheme. Anything that touches these insidious contraptions and doesn't become aware of its greed-inducing soul-destroying qualities goes into a decline.

An overview of why crypto"currencies" are unethical greed-incentivizing pyramid schemes: https://www.arscyni.cc/file/crypto_cult_science.html
Almost without fail, every service that touches creeptocurrencies goes into a decline.
Don't expect Proton to make virtuous ethical choices anytime soon, especially now that Trump joined the cult. Once the greed bug has bitten, making a profit supersedes delivering a good product as the primary objective.

Reposted my “Money corrupts; bitcoin corrupts absolutely” essay on Hacker News because these pyramid schemes are gaining traction again. Sigh.

“Spot #Bitcoin ETF receives official approval from the SEC” https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38943291
The #SEC giving credence to multi-level marketing pyramid Ponzi schemes, sigh. It's sad and disappointing because it means someone succumbed to greed once more. One of the most insidious human flaws.
