I’ll simp for proton all day and this is just another reason why
I wish they just didn't jump on current hypes, like crypto and AI.
Proton is in the crypto game?
Aye, given their focus on privacy it's not a huge surprise. Probably something that got asked for a lot in surveys.
Now if they started shilling ProtonCoin or something...
Both are useless as payment in the real world at any meaningful scale ATM.
I pay for my VPS and domain with Monero. It will never be as big as Visa, but it doesn't have to be - it has its niche.
It's not unfortunate. It's not accepted as currency because it does none of the things currency is for.
Holding a consistent value.
Volatility in a currency makes it completely and utterly useless.

The inherent nature of a currency not managed intelligently by a competent government.

There's still no calendar widget on Android and iOS and other very basic things that have been widely requested for years now
I have a calendar widget on my Samsung S22.

Ew oh well. At least unlike brave and others it isn’t shoved in my face all the time. Been a paying user for two years now and I didn’t even know about it lol
