This is a pretty well-reasoned response. I'm not sure I have any tenable stance to take in my argument short of saying that ecash mints should just sell their tokens and abandon entirely this business of redemption and 1-1 value with sats. Sell 'em as an altcoin and see how the market values them. Or, I can concede that they are indeed custodial bitcoin.

Rather than try to "define" a way out of it, I prefer to make the tech hard to stop, its users and operators hard to track, and -- especially -- make self-custodial alternatives so that users don't have to deal with the extra trust assumptions that come with using mints.

I have decided that I need to sign up for your classes.
