look at the chart: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/mobilecoin/

the integration with signal made the valuation of mobilecoint jump from around zero to 65$. I hope the signal team got some mobilecoins in return for the favor.

It was $6 two weeks ago. Still a big jump but hardly “zero”.

my initial thought was: why didn't they choose monero (another coin that is privacy-focused but sort of more established). However monero is already much higher than that mark, in its valuation.

They didn’t choose Monero because it wouldn’t make them filthy rich.

still, i think that's a better way to get rich than by tracking/snooping on your customers.
