Proton isn’t reinventing the wheel with this crypto wallet. But it’s another solid option for people looking to create a crypto wallet for the first time. However, cryptocurrencies tend to be a polarizing topic, so let’s see if Proton Wallet doesn’t hurt Proton’s brand image in the future.

I stopped using Brave when and because of crypto bs.

I stopped using proton a few months ago because the price was just too high and my need too small. I needed a reasonably priced family plan for email on my domain, not another cloud drive.

I think this decision will hurt them as others come to this conclusion

I never switched to Proton for exactly this reason. I'd much rather use a service that does one thing really well than one that does 20 things okay.

It's all just to keep you locked into your subscription. Now they want you to keep other money tied up in it too.

It did email really well. And it had the best VPN. Didn't like the calendar or drive Didn't touch the password manager.
