This might be an exaggeration, but this feels one of the last nails in the coffin of PGP. Keybase felt like it could become the thing that finally starts making PGP more widel-used by giving it some new powers (verifying social network identities, etc.) and from the way this acquisition looks, it won't last much longer or at least won't improve much.
It's a shame, really. The web of trust idea from PGP could've been really cool and useful to apply to modern social networking and communication services - one that I can imagine even some normal users using. But it seems that Keybase were one of the last willing to try...
