I'm very disappointed that there was no mention of adding Monero(XMR) for payment.
- It's nearly an hour long and Nick said they only covered a portion of all questions.
  
  It's one of the most asked for features since 2018, and there isn't even a minute for it?
- Do you need to pay for your email provider with Monero? If it’s the VPN that you primarily care about, then I believe Mullvad accepts Monero
  
  If email is so important for privacy then why can't I pay for it in a privacy protecting way?
  
  I mean, I suppose that’s fair. I guess paying for email with Monero feels a bit like overkill to me, but it depends on your threat model
  
  I reason it this way. If like they say in the video email is one of the most critical parts of privacy (I 100% agree with that) then why don't they support the only privacy currency? Also why pay for email well simple I both want the features that paying gives you but anything free either you are the product or others are indirectly paying for me. I want my email provider to not spy on me and sell my data so why not give my money to a provider that proves that they protect it? I chose Tuta.com instead of proton because of this. And to make it clear Tuta.com doesn't allow monero payments but their official reseller proxysto.re does allow monero! Also it's not hard to add monero as a payment option :)
