Why "Ecash Coffee Day" Is No Longer Just A Celebration But A Call To Action

Four years after someone bought a cup of coffee with ecash, the privacy technology being built on top of Bitcoin continues to improve. From Fedimin...

That coffee bought with ecash was a legacy coming to life. David Chaum pioneered ecash in the 1980s with DigiCash. Hal Finney, who received the first Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi, foresaw the need for privacy and banking layers on Bitcoin. Eric's coffee brought both visions together. ☕️🔐 Four years on, the ecosystem is growing. @Fedimint , Cashu by @calle , BitVM, Ark implemented by @Ark Labs, Spark, WabiSabi, and Silent Payments prove Bitcoin can scale without sacrificing privacy. But who needs private payments? 🚀 Everyone, but especially the most vulnerable. Around the world, ecash is already being used by people under authoritarian regimes, activists and journalists facing surveillance, and families trying to transact safely without being monitored or censored. 🌍 #EcashCoffeeDay is more than a celebration – it’s a call to action. It’s a reminder that privacy is a non-negotiable cornerstone of freedom. Without privacy, Bitcoin risks becoming vulnerable to coercion and abuse. That coffee proved something essential: Private is Key 🗝️
