    BAT is trash but I’d love to see more quick crypto donation options.

      I’m not trying to to die on the sword of bat, but for end users being able to just easily transfer or donate without having to know crypto…

        Convenience and security is a balance.

        Everything that is convenient is not secure.

        Everything that is secure is not convenient.

            Oh agreed, wholeheartedly. I really just meant that if you’re going to push crypto to consumers, giving them nonsecure options is pretty bad.
