don’t mistake someones indifference of something as hatred of something.

people keep calling me an ecash hater for some reason.

It’s like saying i hate knitting because i don’t partake.

I’m sure i would have fun if i played around with it, but i just don’t see it as something worth spending time on.

nostr, lightning, ark, covenants leading to new L2 are so fascinating that they take up all my brain cycles.

Although i do find the cult obsession with ecash an interesting phenomenon. People love their tokens.

It is an interesting phenomenon, the hype. Good luck ecash, but to me it seems a beautiful castle of innovation built on extremely shaky assumptions, which would likely void the innovation. A lot of money has been poured into it, so I guess I'm missing something.

I just can't reconcile it making sense, it's like trusting darkmarkets to store your coins. Privacy with a custodial solution is more a bug than a feature. If you want privacy better options exist. Onchain/lightning/ark/nostr/liquid/covenants/swaps 👌. Rest feels like somewhat of a distraction.

Shaky assumptions that would void innovation?

I was skeptical at first to

And people judge and seem to have opinions on things before they even try it out.

What I’m saying is that ecash is part of the innovation.

Not voiding innovation.

At least download a wallet and send a couple sats around to see the magic of it.

With npub.cash the sats are literally like in your Nostr relays or something crazy in your browser.

Minibits is a cool wallet to try out

Cashu.me

Zeus wallet

All I’m saying is don’t dismiss it till you experiment a lil ….
