 Why is ecash different than any shit coin?  
 No speculation, no token, no VC, no wash trading, no blockchain, no ledger 

It’s cash 
 Fun fact: ecash "mints" are fractional reserve banks. 
 I mean. They can be, but don’t have to be

There are already ways to cryptographically verify that the mint is not cheating and these will improve

Plus fractional reserve banks used fiat credits and don’t speak Lightning  

And all require ID 
 Proof of reserves 👊
