I read the GP, and some other comments, as equivalent to:

* Keybase's plans will create an unofficial security bounty that is paid (1) out of users' wallets (2) to actors who haven't agreed to responsible disclosure practices.

* My personal choice not to use this (presumably) upcoming feature will protect my financial assets from exposure to (1), but it won't protect my data and identity from exposure to (2).

I myself am happy with Keybase, and looking forward to using it with crypto. I don't think it's irrational for someone with a different set of concerns to raise this, though.
