I feel like everyone is missing my point here lol Ok so a lot of people use lighting wallets that require them to dox their identity For example primal wallet , cash app, strike,etc That’s not private because your identity is tied to the sats With ecash it’s a better option than a lot of those lightning wallets that require you to doxx your identity It’s private So for like a hot wallet / spending wallet You gain privacy using ecash, That being said it’s not self custody Your trusting the mint They could rug you…. So it’s like having 50 bucks in your wallet If you loose your wallet it’s not the end of the world Its a better custodian Self custody lightning is the way. But if your trusting a 3rd party anyways - ecash offers more privacy
