Interesting timing given the recent global launch of MobileCoin in Signal to allow for private payments.

Hopefully this is a positive for the future of that integration - imo privacy in payments is as important as privacy in messaging.

I do have some sympathy for the argument that payments should be in a different app, however leveraging Signal's userbase to shift people from Paypal/CCs/etc to a private currency seems worth the risk.

Why link Twitter when it only contains the blog post? https://signal.org/blog/new-year-new-ceo/
Because the Twitter post contains the link to the blog AND immediate real-time responses from the community that add value to any subsequent discussions here.
