Why does Casa support ETH?
I refuse to do business with a company that supports alt-coins, especially ones as bad as ETH. For me, it's an ethical issue, but it also says a lot about a company's values. Supporting ETH is an instant no-go for me.
I don't bring this up to be unnecessarily confrontational. I seriously want to hear what the rationale is behind such a move.
P.S. I absolutely loved your take last week on WBD about Bitcoin ossification! Really one of the best podcast episodes I've heard in a while.
Because people have security needs beyond Bitcoin.
Over the long run we expect cryptographic keys to become important in a variety of aspects of our lives, not just finance / assets.
We recognize that some people disagree with this perspective and are willing to cede that market segment to Bitcoin-only competitors.
I suspect a lot of folks aren't aware of my BitGo history where I went through the same process of transitioning the company from Bitcoin only to multi-asset. I wrote about some of my issues doing so at length, and I still stand by my position that Bitcoin is better designed. https://blog.lopp.net/the-challenges-of-building-ethereum-infrastructure/
But at the end of the day we're running a business, not a church.
