Funny how he avoids answering any questions about financial incentives and token sales.
Edit: Also note how the mentioned primary goal of MobileCoin is to "fund Signal", not to be a payments layer for it.

- phgn 5y agoHe sold an earlier company to Twitter, pretty sure he already is "rich" (most of us here are, comparatively). I'd like to think about Moxie as the most honourable person in all of this. Leaving the CEO role could be a sign that he doesn't agree with everything that's going on.
