Since I found out about Cashu and deeped into the eCash cryptography and technology, I've been thinking about the role of custodial services in Bitcoin.
We're kind of used to see custodial services in Lightning and I see a rising tendency to accept it as an option for newcomers. With regards to eCash implementations, I see a huge potential for stuff like Cashu and Fedimint even though they are custodial services.
Now, ordinals and the onchain shitshow clearly highlighted that onchain fees will eventually rise definitely and blocks will be eventually always full. An environment as such creates the need for L2 protocols, like LN. We have it, we use it, it works, even though may be somehow prohibitive for a newcomer to use it because of its technical structure (to receive you need to have bitcoin already, have a channel etc).
Fair enough, some other solutions are coming. Now I'm asking you:
what do you think will be the role of custodial services in the future of Bitcoin adoption?
