Why Ecash on Bitcoin? - Bitcoin Asia

In this video, Gandalf from Cashew and Obie from Fedi discuss the rediscovery of ecash, a digital money protocol invented before Bitcoin. Ecash enhances Bitcoin's privacy, speed, and scalability by creating separate "cities" of digital cash connected by the Lightning Network.

Gandalf and Obie explore the philosophical differences between their respective ecash projects, Cashew and Fedi Mint. While Cashew focuses on simplicity and ease of mint management, Fedi Mint emphasizes community-driven federated Chaumian mints. They also discuss the trust aspects of ecash compared to layer 2 solutions and the potential for ecash to scale Bitcoin for global adoption.
