I choose a more optimistic view. The fight isn’t over. Lightning and eCash are powerful tools for increasing privacy. What we need now are strong, practical use cases that bring more people to Bitcoin. Not only because of the price. Nostr is already a solid start, and Fanfares, which I recently discovered, is interesting too.
We can’t help everyone, but we can make sure people have real options to protect themselves if they choose to. That includes CoinJoin, Lightning, and eCash…

Default on-chain privacy is the only way. Lightning is DOA, look at payment stats for websites that accept On-chain and Lightning, lightning gets barely 1 or 2% of transaction volume. Also it's privacy is mid at best (recieving primarily) and most people use it in a custodial or partially custodial way which gives it less privacy than on-chain.
ECash is literally not even Bitcoin, it's just custodial paper Bitcoin, even worse.
You've been sold propaganda and lies. On-chain default privacy or bust.
