What the hell is Proton's direction?
I didn't really care about Scribe but this is just so off-brand. Just what.
They said in the Reddit post that further down the road they want to implement something like Google wallet, and possibly proton pay, that would allow for credit card aliases. I think the Bitcoin solution is the one they chose to build a new platform/foundation but without all the regulation and partnerships hassle of making it for traditional payment systems.
Edit
Imo after reading it, it doesn't seem that crazy or off-brand anymore (so long as it gets fleshed out to use something not as transactionally-inefficient as bitcoin).
