I'm not an expert but I think #Monero is maybe a kind of lid on the #BTC jar for #demanding users 
#anonymous#transaction#solution👀👽

again these are just my assumptions and the way I think " everyone has their own mind"🧠 

 OPs argument is a little weird.
not sure how using Monero is "debasing bitcoin."

also
"I'd rather use a custodial trusted system than self-sovereign money on a different chain"
seems like a religious argument,
and not a convincing mic drop. 

 ...a little weird.

You are so nice!  

 😁
I've been reflecting on how I interact with people on social media. 

 Nothing wrong with ecash. That's why vsome Monero devs are already working on it, as there are somevsoecific use cases where ecash makes total sense.

But: ecash is custodial. Every custodian has an economic incentive to go fractional.

And as mints all have their own anonymity sets it is likely that the theoretical privacy gain shrinks through the limited number of users per mint.

All in all. If you don't need to verify in order to trust someone it's a good solution. 

 He already admitted the *major* difference. 
One requires trust in a custodian (ecash), the other doesn't (Monero)
It's can never be a full replacement for Monero because of that.

That being said they each have their own unique advantages. For instance, ecash is: instant, free to transact, and can be used offline. 

Different tools and use-cases.

The Monero "debasing" Bitcoin part makes zero sense 

 By the way, you can also have Monero-based ecash. There is someone already potentially working on it.
