They want to become a money transfer service. The whole Bitcoin by email thing, it’s a play to make themselves the middleman of a Venmo type architecture
So any two proton users who have the wallet enabled, can send and receive money seamlessly using their custodial key management…
Sorry, I understand why a company would want to capitalize on the crypto bubble if it was 2022, but I meant this more as an existential “whyyyyy” but didn’t have the energy for that.

I don’t think they care if it’s crypto, crypto is just one way to do it, they want to be the intermediary between people’s transfers
They aren’t an intermediary. It’s a fully self-custody wallet.
Well, crypto is more secure. You couldn’t really do that securely with a fiat system
It’s a self-custody wallet, they do not control the keys.
You are probably right, and I hate it.
