       | 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.
