Ever since I started designing for Bitcoin eCash wallets, I've noticed something: Getting eCash feels like there's this extra step the user has to complete: Swapping sats via lightning for eCash. I heard this comparison on the Bitcoin Review podcast once – imagine eCash is like poker chips at a casino. It kind of clicked. We give dollars, get chips; give sats, get eCash. Wondering how to best frame this to the end user. Abstract this extra step away or embrace it? What to name it? "Topping up"? "Exchanging"? I like the erm "exchange" because it suggests a two-way process. Users can convert sats to eCash and vice versa.
