Now it becomes clear why he was attacking Telegram and web3 so tirelessly lately.

  He was attacking Telegram because he’s resigning as the CEO of Signal? What is the obvious connection there that you have seen?

    IMHO, he was attacking Telegram because Signal lost in popularity to Telegram, and investors were not happy. And he was attacking web3 because these same investors pushed cryptocurrency features into Signal, and he was wildly against it.

      Signal doesn't have investors.

          Obviously, none of this is true.

          This reads like conspiracy theory with no hard facts to back it up. It’s been demonstrably false as well.

      He was attacking Telegram because it was letting people believe that they conversations were e2e encrypted when they weren't.

  Please don't post unsubstantive comments or cross into personal attack. Thoughtful critique is welcome, of course, but it would need to contain a lot more information than this. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
