I've known Moxie to often be right. And I think he happens to be right about this.

I'm perplexed with him writing this piece and, at the same time, adding crypto based payments to Signal...

Has he written anything on Signal and payments?

I don't think there's necessarily any contradiction. This is a critique of the Web3 paradigm (crypto all the things) and not cryptocurrency itself for say, payments.

Yeah I read the article more as a list of valid suggestions for a nascent industry. Not an attempt to suggest that crypto is going to disappear entirely.

> at the same time, adding crypto based payments to Signal...

Damn, and just when I'd been thinking how much I like Signal.

The goldrush when Keybase added crypto completely ruined what had been a pretty good tool.
