It seems to require extra steps. Some humans are lazy. Others are used to simplicity and convenience. What’s the sales pitch to get people to use it? Is it convincing enough? Some people are skeptical of Bitcoin. How does one get people onboard with Cashu? I’m personally not convinced to use it but someone can change my mind.

Ok but Some people don’t care about privacy. They’re still on Facebook. Is that the main selling point?

yeah pretty much, if you are using a custodial lightning wallet and you’re happy with it, then there’s not any huge benefit to using ecash

i see it as an extra value add as a merchant for customers who care about privacy.

It won’t work as a retail tool because merchants need assurance of settlement. Lightning is better for that purpose. If you as a customer want to pay with ecash over Lightning it still works fine, but there’s no reason for a merchant to have to connect to a random mint to receive your payment because it adds unnecessary friction and risk.
