I didnβt; that was someone else. But you did make the false equivalency.
Iβm not anti-crypto myself, incidentallyβ¦
How did I make a false equivalency when the op literally called any project that βdabbles in cryptoβ a possible scam? That includes Signal as well as Mullvad. Opβs comment does not in any way indicate the use of oneβs own currency, simply abolishing all services using crypto.
Donβt you recognise a difference between creating a cryptocurrency to use it to encourage people to watch ads, and allowing people to pay with for a service with an existing cryptocurrency in the cause of anonymity? Thereβs a fundamental difference, right? If not, then fair enough - them taking exception to Brave but supporting Mullvad is hypocracy in your eyes.
FWIW, I believe no defender of !privacy should be opposed to cryptocurrencies; for better or worse, theyβre the only option for online anonymous payments. But I also object to the proliferation of bespoke shitcoins, most of which are truly pyramid schemes in intention amd execution. But itβs a fine line, Iβll admit.
Of course I recognize the idfference. And I hate brave for somewhat abusing their users like they do. Still, that is not what op said. I wonβt repeat it again, but that fundamental difference you are speaking of was not highlighted by them. Possibly leading other people to believe that cryptocurrency is bad to use as a whole, which as yourself has said is not right if one repsects privacy.
