"well designed" depends on your goals and use case

Major downsides of Ecash is that the underlying asset is custodial and Ecash reintroduces seigniorage (mints can print ecash on a whim). Bitcoins only major value props are destroyed. You bringing back trust and custodians.

With Monero you can have privacy without sacrificing custody or seigniorage

Ecash is also not exclusive to Bitcoin. You can have Ecash on Monero. It's just an IOU.

ecash is not in competition with bitcoin, its enabled by bitcoin and lighting network to express its better form.

Is a tool, it doesnt scam (makes clear what are the risks and what are the porpouse, unlike monero) and it is a layer of standardized low barrier custodians possibility.

Ecash is a competitor of wallet of satoshi or netflix for example, all the custodians (not only monetary) that uses a ID-databases to offer their services.

It permit perfect privacy to user. Market competition (low barried, so much competition) will select trusty custodians (maybe someone who offer better proof of reserve). Rug pulls will definitevely happes, like for every custodian-based system.

It is opt-in; if you need it you can search for someone to trust that offer you this service and use it, managing the risks. Nothing more.

I'm happy for this possibility and use this service being conscius of the risks.

Ecash is not in competition with Monero either. They accomplish different uses.

Even Lightning is not exclusive to Bitcoin.

Lightning is on Litecoin.

Lightning is possible with Moneros Seraphis upgrade.

How does Monero scam? Show me where it promises to pump your bags or get you rich.

Monero is also opt-in and so is every other crypto out there.

so good luck, time will judge our decisions, its pointless to discuss.

No, time will judge you. We are early Bitcoiners without a maxi mindset/built here fallacy.

Bitcoin alone is just what it is. Not more. That's why we hedge certain trade offs between BTC, LN, Ecash, Monero.

no, time is a good judge for every choice but you are too dumb for understand this concept.

Still, it is what it is, everyone could expect the future he merits based on how he has been retarded in their past choices, so pointless to continue discussing.

Good life🙏
