if u don't trust vitalik or larry fink, then why trust the custodian of the ecash mint?
ecash literally a money transmitter business so at scale they will be prosecuted (already how many custodial lightning wallets are not available in the USA?)
either the mint rugs you or the government will rug you but either ways it's rug tech in the same way blockchain tokenenomics is scam tech
bitcoiners don't see it because they listen to podcasters more than verify the tech themselves...
