But not the fact that it's going to be directly integrated into Signal. The CEO of MobileCoin is in here saying that he started it as a way to fund Signal, which from what I can tell, wasn't public knowledge until today. So he gets to monopolize a currency that was mostly worthless, knowing that it would be directly integrated into a popular application, greatly increasing its value. If that's not a scam, I don't know what is.

- codethief 6y ago> But not the fact that it's going to be directly integrated into Signal To be honest, that was exactly the impression that I got back then. So to me, yesterday's announcement was no surprise at all. Whether I like it, is a different matter.
