Thank you for your question. Here is my perception:

Liquid

- 🟠 All fee goes to Liquid Functionaries (15)

- 🟠 Any combination of 5 functionaries can paralyze the Liquid

- πŸ”΄ After two weeks (I think) can Blockstream steal all the Liquid funds

- πŸ”΄ Liquid is vulnerable to governments

Ecash

- 🟒Fees are decentralized

- πŸ”΄ Any mint can steal the funds

- 🟒But there can be huge competition - anyone can run a mint

- 🟒 Users can withdraw their funds anytime - immediately β†’ unchain or on lightning

- 🟒 Ecash brings new value β†’ can be shared with anyone - without previous action - for example via message

- 🟒 It enables simple interaction with Lightning Network

Simplified view could be that:

- Liquid is like new central banking

- Ecash is like new free banking

Both have advantages and disadvantages. And I’m a strong advocate of free banking in this dilemma. But real bitcoin is best of course.
