Cos it’s still custodial, just much less bad type of custodial. You’re not transacting sats, but sats IOUs.

Conceptually just like fiat started out, which worked ok until the rugpulls.

That said, the people working on bitcoin ecash are smart, realistic, know its weaknesses and are working to mitigate them.

I think Calle had an idea for provable reserves, which would eliminate the creeping fractional reserve risk.

there is custodial that is:

- kyc/aml ridden unsafe

- permissioned account system

- orwellian surveillance nightmare

- debased via fractional reserve

- gatekept and metered walled garden

and there is custodial ecash:

- private

- either fungible or programmable

- accountless and individually permissionless

- auditable supply (fingers crossed)

- globally interconnected via ln

both can rug you tho. but it's pretty clear which one is the winner.
