I suspect it‘s only a matter of time until encrypted messengers and bitcoin wallets disappear from app stores.
I hope for push back on the policy front but I‘m not hopeful here. There are a growing number of boogymen to invoke, and there seems to be little to no political incentive with a lack of awareness and public discussion.
I suspect the only way to use Signal or wallet apps will be using open source mobile OSes and app stores. This is one area I‘d love to see more grants funding for.
Re PWAs … they are a nice short term backup to get your funds out in case of an app store ban of wallets. But they are not the answer longterm as they rely on trust of web servers and SSL CAs.

"Our societies have not previously tolerated spaces that are beyond the reach of

flourish. They should not now. We cannot let ourselves be blinded to crime."
