The recent discussion with @calle and @ODELL on @CITADEL DISPATCH had me thinking about ecash. I liked the comparison to custodial apps like Venmo/Cashapp and how ecash would be a better alternative for those. I do feel like the risk of the mint rugging you was glossed over though. Like if a large company was running the mint so you could trust them (and your less technical friends and family could trust them) under current laws there is no way aml/kyc wouldn’t be in place. Still interested where things will go.
