 so i dont get it at all why we would create a system like that. this screams exit scam and rug pull so loud that even SBF can hear it in his cell...

 not really. it's a solution to improve scaling and privacy. it makes sense but there are tradeoffs.

 It's a custodial scaling solution. 

We strongly embrace legacy custody scaling solutions today. Most people use them. You're using one.

These legacy custody solutions have zero privacy and zero censorship resistance. 

eCash is a better custodial solution. Strong privacy and full censorship resistance. 

Nobody is claiming it's non-custodial. It has its place and is massive improvement to what most people use today, including yourself.

 Operators will sadly be persecuted.
For governments it will be CBDC or nothing else.
