I have come to greatly appreciate Justin's take on ecash.
I remember when @TonyGiorgio posted his ecash is self custodial article (#395461) and calle came out with some pretty harsh criticism that it was a bad way to think about ecash tokens.
That's the thing: Ecash are tokens. They are a different coin. Maybe they are a shitcoin, but they might be a useful shitcoin.
Cashu is not bitcoin. However, I still kinda like it and I hope people keep building on it.

I like to think of cashu and l-btc as a stablecoin. One has a blockchain and one doesn't. Of course they're not bitcoin, they are tools that allow you to represent bitcoin and move value without losing bitcoin exposure.
