Captures my sentiment exactly.

To quote JFK: We do these things *because* they are hard.

Ecash seems like a band aid at best with possible serious negative ramifications for rug pulls/earning trust. We have enough problems in those areas.

yeah I don't really have anything against ecash. the cryptography is cool and anyone can make a mint.

but it is fiat incarnate and the propaganda to dupe people is already circulating

also the tech is a dead-end for freedom money and a cop-out for dealing with current challenges. I don't like it when good engineers give up on going to the moon and decide to build a tower of babel instead.
