I agree that if it's true it's incredibly damning and probably warrants some hard evidence. That being said it's still a strange move by Signal, given that it's still a rather niche messenger that's now integrating with an even more niche payment system. The only ones that really stand to benefit from this are people holding this cryptocurrency. It's just a super strange move by Signal, regardless of your stance on cryptocurrencies. Did anybody really think "you know what's missing from Signal compared to the competition? First party cryptocurrency payment support".
