well in all fairness, ecash isn't bitcoin and also, by many, called a scaling solution for bitcoin. not that the tech is a bad thing, but much of the conversation is around it's ability to scale the amount of transactions "on bitcoin" even though it's not. it's moving those transactions to something else, which is what custodial solutions do in a shittier way.
There has to be a core group of people being absolutists to keep the compromises in check.
well we do have this in the samourai team and they do great work. however, i think they lose alot by not being willing to diversify. i think it's better to be practical. custodial solutions have their uses, and we should be pushing people to hold their own keys as well. a custodial solution moving certain transactions off the main chain are a "scaling solution" in that there is now room for other transactions on the chain.
