You'll have a social page for your lightning node that sells various services and displays your trust network
The lightning graph will start to mirror the social graph
This node persona will casually coordinate channel batches to bring on the next billion nodes for practically free
The math is simple
A batch open of 50 channels runs ~2000 vbytes
144k are mined a day
That's 3M channels a day, or 1 billion a year, enough for every business and household on the planet

ECash is a server authentication scheme, not a currency
It doesn't make bitcoin more private
It doesn't make custodians more trustworthy
The new payment specs associated with it are an attack on Bitcoin, specifically the network effect of bolt11
It's astroturf for the new EDollar
It's a well-funded psyop pushed by spooks, scammers, and their useful idiots
Your key-tweaked ECash shitcoin is no more private than an SQL Database
