Agree. From fiat to bitcoin is already a giant leap. From bitcoin to lightning yet another step. From lightning to ecash … think you’ve lost the majority of people.
If you can go from fiat to ecash in one step, that might help but you still have the mental barrier.
I agree as well. However, the moment we transition from fiat to eCash, I believe it opens the door for regulatory enforcement and KYC. The strength of the system is its use of Bitcoin as the unit of account. This is a limitation we must design and build around.
Abstract away as many steps as possible for the user.
