This is a tough one, I feel like Moxie has broadly acted in a way that should illicit a reaction that assumes good intent from most people. And if nothing else, they’re not forcing upon users who don’t explicitly want to use it - choice is okay, even if you don’t agree with the choices of others... It was an interesting move to adopt a coin like MobileCoin, but honestly it seems well reasoned, and at least as valid as most of the suitable alternatives from a technical standpoint. My only hope is that the added overheard of interacting more with the financial world doesn’t detract to much time from keeping the core messaging functions great - time will tell but I suspect they’ll work it out.

>I feel like Moxie has broadly acted in a way that should illicit a reaction that assumes good intent from most people. I don't. Drew Devault articulates some reasons why[0], but it's an opinion I held before he wrote that. It was a pattern I first noticed reading Moxie's justifications for removing encrypted SMS[1].

"illicit" means illegal. You mean "elicit".
