And it is facilitating in using a privacy-based cryptocurrency and forcibly shoving it in the app, just like what Keybase did but with a different crypto project.

I keep hearing about this crypto stuff but as a daily Signal user I don't think I've ever seen anything "forcibly shoved" at me about crypto in Signal.
Yeah this is my experience too. I went looking out of curiosity, and I guess it’s if you press + on a message, then “payment,” and then you’re prompted to set up payments, which then pops up a modal to set up a thing to send MobileCoin. Certainly wouldn’t have seen it if I wasn’t looking for it, but if you’re messaging use case involves a lot of payments, I could see it feeling more forward
