Just thinking adversely. CBDC proponents are looking at ecash, but how can they use that to get everyone on board first and then fuck everyone over after?
It's also a pressing issue for cashu mints too tbh, mints want to stay under the radar and stay legal, I don't think many will want to explicitly break the law.
So I guess these rules can apply to them too and this will effectively drive cashu underground for the most part where most mints ARE illegal.

As an example, the EU has guidelines that apply to ecash-based CBDC applicants that completely break a lot of the expected ecash benefits - They'd fuck everyone over from the start.
You could argue that then it's not ecash, much less chaumian, but truth is it's being looked at, there are applicants and it *could* come to pass.
