There’s nothing crypto in the radicle protocol. What I think you’re referring to are “drips” which uses crypto to fund opensource development (I know how terrible). It’s its own protocol built on top of ethereum and is not built into the radicle protocol.
This comes up every time someone mentions radicle and I think it happens because there’s a RAD crypto token and a radicle protocol. Beyond the similar names, it’s like mistaking bees for wasps because they look similar and not bothering to have a closer look.
Drips are funding the development of gitoxide, BTW, which is a Rust reimplementation of git. I wouldn’t start getting suspicious of gitoxide sneaking in a crypto protocol just because it’s funded by crypto. If we attacked everything funded by the things we consider evil, well everything opensource made by GAFAM would have to go: modern video streaming (HLS by Apple), Android (bought by Google), LSPs (popularised and developed by Microsoft), OBS (sponsored by Google through YouTube and by Amazon through Twitch), and much much more.

The thing is that the purpose of such a system is to run away from enshitificacion.
If they are so crypto adjacent is like a enshitificacion speedrun.
If I’m going to stay in a platform that just care for the money I might as well stay in corpo platforms. I’m not going to the trouble of changing platform and using new systems to keep getting being used so others can enrich.
Git itself doesn’t have crypto around it. This shouldn’t have either.
And this is not even against crypto as a concept, which is fine by me. It’s against using crypto as a scam to get a quick buck out of people who doesn’t know better.
Where are you getting this information from? How is radicle just caring about money?
Who is getting rich and how?

Answer to both questions is the crypto scheme they have created. There is no logical explanation to it. We have seen it happen countless times before.
They could ask for crypto donations and that would be totally fine. But they are building a crypto scheme. And crypto schemes are build as pyramid schemes to get money out of vulnerable people. Anyone who make such a thing is not trustable.
Who is building a cryptoscheme? Radicle developers aren’t building a cryptoscheme. Again, radicle is not crypto, it’s a decentralised git forge.

Same devs of the Rad token which is said by themselves that will be used woth the protocol. You cannot disconnect devs of RAD and devs of radicle because they are the same people. It’s like saying that YouTube have nothing to do with google.
