## What Jamie wrote

I didn’t see this coming at all. I’ve been a Keybase user for years, but honestly haven’t used it for much of anything.

> We are proud to announce the acquisition of Keybase, another milestone in Zoom’s 90-day plan to further strengthen the security of our video communications platform. Since its launch in 2014, Keybase’s team of exceptional engineers has built a secure messaging and file-sharing service leveraging their deep encryption and security expertise. **We are excited to integrate Keybase’s team into the Zoom family to help us build end-to-end encryption that can reach current Zoom scalability.**

I wonder how much of this is all about the people. Keybase had some brilliant crypto talent making some innovative stuff. It always seemed like a utility to me though. Bringing the crypto culture of Keybase to Zoom is a smart move. Good use of cash by Zoom.
