Google hasn't had a major crypto announcement... look out for one coming up
This is what they usually say, but in this case, what would that be?

1. joining one big name in cryptocurrencies and providing software for the chosen one exclusively?

2. creating their own thing, like Facebook did?

3. banning cryptocurrencies entirely from the Chrome ecosystem?

4. ...?

Who cares? Android users are not dependent on the store. Google can ban whatever they like.
99% of users are not even aware there is something else beyond the Google Play Store.
99.9%

We serious need to do something about it.

Every time someone complains about Apple banning something, there is a huge chorus of people saying that a law mandating sideloading will solve the problem.

It seems like the Android case shows that users really don’t care.
