stuff you obvs know, and probably anyone else who might read this and care, but
pgp is a terrible choice for chat, using a single-point-of-failure good-forever key rather than a ratcheting system of transients
and the fact that keybase has so much pushed chat as "their usecase"
coupled with their trying to get users to let them "just store for you" their private keys
has always seemed very suspect
trying to intercept that "i am a reddit user and am vaguely aware that computers exist" demographic's vague thoughts about encryption
this new development might indicate that that things didn't turn out as well as hoped, adoption rates etc, and so they're willing to instead risk that userbase's goodwill in exchange for marketing revenue from what i guess is the latest new-and-failing cryptocurrencycashgrab, trying, in turn, to revive themselves for long enough to get some return on investment
