Or maybe we're just not buying into cryptography being pushed by a company that has a marketing department.
May be we should all abandon the privacy ship, join the Monero guys (no matter its obscure origins by the way) and spread FUD and lies about any better tech like Zcash or others that comes up, right?
Also, obscure origins are irrelevant when the technology is solid. Take the following examples: TrueCrypt, Bitcoin, MimbleWimble. Are you honestly arguing that TrueCrypt was bad?
