Part of the problem is that at the moment any government trying to force Signal to break the e2e security model is clearly interfering with speech.

By incorporating cryptocurrency/payments, governments are being handed a massive lever to force Signal to comply with the financial monitoring requirements that governments have in place.

This has a negative impact on those of us who just wanted a secure communications platform.

Thank you, this is honestly the only clear and valid argument I've seen from anyone around the feature.

Everyone else is trying to pass off false information, doctored white papers, and all sort of conspiracy theories to support their dislike for the feature.
