#Ecash bears will have a hard time explaining why self-custody Lightning fees are skyrocketing when Bitcoin adoption hits new levels.
...
Or why we still won't have a single self-custodial LN wallet that competes on UX with fiat wallets.
Think in spectrum rather than religious dogma. Black and white.
We need multiple solutions with all kinds of different tradeoffs for a gamut of use-cases.
Do you think #Zeus wallet adopting ecash was a simple decision? Do you think they don't care about Self-Custody?
They did what reasonable people do: act in a careful and smart way to meet people where they are.

But if we aren’t fighting over every detail and demanding absolute purity how will the plebslop industrial complex survive?
The internet is not a great place for nuance, unfortunately.
Appreciate the note
Fee markets on asset coupons have convenience priced in. Routing through a "Well connected" node? That convenience costs something. Has nothing to do with self custody everything to do with routing efficiency. An undercut node router could sweep the market with enough liquidity. But we'd rather complain about PRICE TOO HIGH without understanding why markets have price increases.
Ecash is credit and not at all comparable to lightning. That's like saying cash and a credit card are the same thing.
