I do wonder who will be the primary users of ecash. Will this be the obvious improvement on Wallet of Satoshi type wallets where the custodian knows all the details of every transaction?

Same user as dollars, its a pilot for the US treasury being pushed by spooks with ties to the banking sector
It doesn't add privacy to Bitcoin, those still ingress/egress through the custodian who can now aggregate all that metadata... it's a major coordinated attack on privacy

Not really, it's out in the open
You didn't think these shitcoin projects were raising 10s of millions of dollars out of the blue, plus grants from NGO's, for lies about privacy, did you?

I think primary users will be families and communities in developing, unbanked populations.

That would be a great outcome.
But I wonder how much someone from an unbanked community cares about privacy.
I can see that happen though with stablecoin ecash. I guess that'll be a obvious usecase. Have your own little USD mint and be protected from your own fiat being devaluated against the dollar.
Of course, I'm all for native bitcoin. But here we're talking about ecash, so i guess that would be acceptable.
