Ben finally joining the party

quoting nevent1q…cmrl

So I hear I am an ecash hater?
To be clear, I love ecash, it has great applications, such as paid API calls like in Wasabi. The worlds soft currencies will be ecash, built on Bitcoin stack.
There is however an issue when 90% bitcoiners think ecash is noncustodial, pegged, see it as a "scaling" solution.
* There are no proof of reserve proposals that make sense, mints can always brr.
* Ecash is not a scaling solution, it's a custodial solution.
* You are giving someone your bitcoin, and they are giving you a thing they claim is bitcoin.
* Mint operators should be aware of the legal risks.
