Not code alone, not code widely<br/>distributed, not even code widely used. Some measure of toleration in<br/>society for activities conducted in private is necessary for long<br/>term success.

Now that ecash became seamlessly and instantly interchangeable with censorship resistant money independent from third parties, it got reincarnated. <br/><br/>You no longer need to trust a single mint -- you can become a client of dozens or even hundreds of mints, all accessible from a single wallet. <br/><br/>You can swap your bearer asset tokens between mints at the speed of light thanks to lightning network and &#34;cash them out&#34; directly into LN or onchain. <br/><br/>Diversifying mints means you never risk large sums of money while getting the benefits of unparalleled privacy Bitcoin lacks and enjoying cutting edge tech like ecash tokens being used instead of API tokens and embedding payments into emojis, images, gifs (and pretty much anything).<br/><br/>Ecash is by no means a replacement of Bitcoin, but it a fascinating addition and a booster to the best money humanity has witnessed. 2026-03-13T08:14:30Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsv48n0kxn86n5rgjfefu8w6d0pyy87rfykghgqkmq3qqlxupn86hgzyp0rhajfjp627sd6uw9q3mdxgfzawly6g945fnuc0y4ceyq2h8sqj3yudmk 🌐 Shopping on the Information Superhighway<br/><br/>On March 13, 1996, Europe&#39;s largest Internet provider EUnet integrates ECash.
