Signal Adds Cryptocurrency Support
I think there are 3 attitudes towards Signal:<p>1. Anger from purists who care about the fact it's not decentralised, and that Moxie runs the show, and that it uses phone numbers etc etc...<p>2. Indifference from those who have never heard of it<p>3. Joy from those who are extremely happy a decent, private,  alternative to Facebook/Whatsapp exists<p>My worry is that group 1) try and ruin it for the rest of us.<p>Signal is literally the only product I can get my family to use which provides E2E messaging and prevents mass surveillance. But Signal needs to keep core feature parity to remain competitive with WhatsApp, Telegram etc. And that includes a payment mechanism.
