- plutonnet 6y agoapart from the hype of cryptocurrency why would you close your account down when keybase incorporated crypto? Just out of curiosity.
- veidr 6y agoI'm not the OP, but lots of people felt like that was the moment when Keybase "jumped the shark". At first I thought it was weird and off-mission, too, but then I learned more about the particular cryptocurrency they affiliated themselves with: https://www.stellar.org https://www.stellar.org It made more sense then. Stellar XLM and the mission of the Stellar Foundation seemed more in line with the altruistic (though perhaps naive, hence this whole topic) motivations that Keybase publicly espoused. Although, obviously, it did not pan out in the end as far as Keybase is concerned. I still pay my kid's allowance in the XLM cryptocurrency I got from their "spacedrop" promo though :-D
