eCash is Bitcoin’s Layer3 We use the analogies of layers from the physical realm to help frame the concepts of separation in software - coupling and cohesion and function There are lots of ways to then define such layer boundaries: - trust models - exit capabilities - dependence on “lower” layers Pointless getting sucked into ragewars on those definitions because the entire point of analogies is to assist understanding increasing complexity and separation of function eCash requires Layer2 ⚡️to achieve interoperability; it has different trust assumptions to ⚡️; it offers additional benefits Focus on functionality and trade-offs

Ownership IS control In the physical realm, that control is enforced by violence In the digital realm, it is solely enforced by knowledge Digital ownership is the first time we've had peaceful control

As @jimmysong says, eloquently with the Latin: Fiat delende est Or as the Space Cheetah put it:
