This is why we build protocols, not platforms. SimpleXChat wanted a platform the company can control since day 0. The more they developed, the clearer it got that the game wasn't privacy, but control.

They were all the rage when we were developing NIP-17. Many, many people told us to just use their system instead of building our protocol. It looks silly now, but I am glad we didn't follow their way doing business.

It’s sad to see Simplex fall into the tempting smart-contract blockchain token trap.

This is also why Keychat uses ecash sats as postage stamps for messages.
