 I want you to walk me through the scenario in your mind. do you really think that none of the people who are doing illicit electronic commerce have any need for sovereignty? do you really think that they are all going to blindly trust some rando with a cashu server to hold onto all their money and not steal any of it? keep in mind, this is the same set of users who invented multisignature escrow and baked it into their ecommerce platforms that they built from scratch. do you really think they are going to stop caring about all of that and use cashu? 
 i know nothing of “illicit electronic commerce” We’re making BTC more private not fed-proof 
 you just said that altcoins don't need to exist because we now have cashu. it feels like I am trying to argue with a toddler who insists that the oven won't burn him. you failed the intelligence test. 
 who said I was intelligent? 😃
