Keybase was almost the perfect Slack-killer for security-minded teams, except it had a few wiggles, including their sluggish client. I believe there is an opportunity for someone to capture the users who are about to be abandoned by this transaction, if they implement a subset of the Keybase client functionality like team chat, shared files/git repos, but get rid of the crypto wallet nonsense. I, and others, would gladly pay $10/mo for this.
Matrix isn't the answer. That's like saying just use SMTP for email.
The slackification of Keybase did not lead to a viable business model, unfortunately. In fact, it's such a no brainer, I can't wait for someone to build Keybase 2.0. It might not be a VC enterprise, but could be a great lifestyle business for a small team.
