While I hold strong convictions about Bitcoin's self-sovereign potential, I believe that solutions like ecash might hold value as transitional tools within specific contexts. For those still reliant on traditional banking systems, a well-implemented ecash solution could act as a stepping stone towards greater financial autonomy. As infrastructure development and user-interface improvements progress on Bitcoin and Lightning, perhaps these intermediate solutions can become naturally less appealing. Could projects aiming to develop the best possible ecash infrastructure adopt practices that actively encourage a gradual transition toward trust-minimized Bitcoin solutions?
