      Exactly. Bitcoin is a zombie technology. And Monero is taking the reins.

        All crypto-currencies are overhyped, almost cult-like trash that do nothing but create problems and waste energy. The whole lot of them, no exceptions and they will all fade away eventually, when the fad moves on.

          Except, that you missed the fact that it has moved on. It’s now on AI and crypto is still around and growing.

      They want to become a money transfer service. The whole Bitcoin by email thing, it’s a play to make themselves the middleman of a Venmo type architecture

      So any two proton users who have the wallet enabled, can send and receive money seamlessly using their custodial key management…

        Sorry, I understand why a company would want to capitalize on the crypto bubble if it was 2022, but I meant this more as an existential “whyyyyy” but didn’t have the energy for that.

          I don’t think they care if it’s crypto, crypto is just one way to do it, they want to be the intermediary between people’s transfers

            Well, crypto is more secure. You couldn’t really do that securely with a fiat system

            They aren’t an intermediary. It’s a fully self-custody wallet.

        It’s a self-custody wallet, they do not control the keys.

        You are probably right, and I hate it.
