Those addresses are essentially meaningless without a signature proving they control the coins.
It’s a virtue signal.
It’s even worse if the public thinks these addresses are transparent and don’t demand proof.
I caught a lot of shit for saying this when Bukele posted his address. It is nice to see but we need to demand more.
