Anyone worried about privacy could simply connect the addresses to a new npub, instead of the one they usually use. Nostr offers a layer of obfuscation _on top of_ the addresses.
How do you feel about ecash? Rug-pull risk to great?

I think it's a good token/voucher/coupon system, but not a replacement for Lightning.
I think new users who start with e-cash will never move on to Lightning, tho.
True.
