What’s uninformed is caving to a blanket rejection of all cryptocurrency despite there being many eco-friendlier alternatives to Bitcoin, and many ways to offset approximate carbon footprints. If you’re a “privacy company,” you better learn about privacy coins.
They’re essentially saying “PuppyKicker Inc. is a stock. Therefore, all stocks are bad.”
What’s the carbon footprint of accepting a large donation from Google? How many flights, full time staff are involved with ensuring this?
Their decision is short sighted for many reasons, including the unpopular truth that in the long term they will need to natively support cryptocurrency “Web 3” features to survive as a competitive browser.
