    I don’t think it’s that easy. the CEO Andy Yen talked about this briefly in this podcast, it boils down to financial auditors not liking cryptocurrencies. he said even just by accepting bitcoin most of the auditors won’t agree to audit their company, all the while they are legally required to have regular audits

      Mullvad seems to have figured it out

      Being that they still treat Linux as a second class citizen, I’m guessing they just don’t care.

      Well, maybe that person didn’t have permission to speak like that, but they said that they would get it into the summer plans in a screenshot right on the page.

        tbh I didn’t read the petition page until now because I didn’t expect an official source, but this is going to be interesting

          That’s what actually makes me think that it could happen. Just because it was an official source.

            another person here also highlighted that mullvad can already do btc + monero + traditional money, so I guess maybe it could just work that way.

            interesting though, that mullvad had that for many years now, didn’t it? and this podcast is not old. why did Andy say what he said?
