Fiat prints are essentially worthless tokens that hold no intrinsic value and are not backed by any valuable asset. The value of fiat currency is solely based on government control, manipulation and trust in the issuing authority. In contrast, ecash mints are precious tokens that are backed by the rare sats.
Ecash is issued in a decentralized manner, with the amount of sats backing its value determining its scarcity and worth. This makes ecash mints a more valuable and secure form of currency compared to fiat prints.
Ultimately, the difference between fiat prints and ecash mints lies in their underlying value and how they are issued. While fiat prints are essentially worthless tokens backed by nothing but the promises of a central authority, ecash mints derive their value from the scarcity and security of the sats backing them. The shift towards ecash mints highlights the need for a more transparent and decentralized financial system that can provide greater stability and trust for users.
