ECASH IS A SERVER CREDENTIAL NOT A CURRENCY
Anyone claiming otherwise is lying or willfully ignorant at this stage
ecash trend seems to be gaining steam instead of going away
There's no trend, it's astroturf from a well-funded enemy, the water is carried by sockpuppets and useful idiots with their hands out.
There is no incentive for custodians to implement ecash
Unfortunately that's not true, its a shield to lie behind about privacy and obfuscating custodians (Federations are part of the scam)
