Bitcoin maxis will rave on about #ecash which has nothing at all to do with Bitcoin per se - the mints that exist today just happen to issue Bitcoin IOUs, but just as easily it could be any other cryptocurrency - while at the same time accepting that the mint could rug them at any time.
But they won't consider #monero
Now don't get me wrong, I think ecash applied to cryptocurrency is a very interesting idea and we have not seen the end of its possibilities yet.
But this discrepancy is troubling. It is not consistent. It is not the product of rational thought.
