I missed a word in my reply above. It should read:

just because a token is pegged to another asset, **doesnt mean** users of that token expect it's issuer to act as custodians for that asset

Sorry, I type poorly on a phone.

Why can't you buy ecash from a Cashu mint?

The fiat mind virus got you bad

First, its not pegged
Second, if users didn't value the peg, why would the peg exist in the first place?

No one is going to use ECash for its own sake, they're going to use it as a bank note. Whether that bank holds Bitcoin, Taco's, Dollars, or simply forces adoption by decree (Like will happen with Federal Government ECash), its no more valuable than any other piece of arbitrary data on the internet.
