But don't worry... Don't be offended. I was just joking... I have no reason to hold a grudge... And I find your questions very useful... But really, what more do you mean... I mean, does the functioning of LAMINT meet the requirements you mean for digital cash? Or even here on TREECHAT you can send a payment without the 15% fee for UPVALUE directly to a wallet.

No offence taken at all, and thank you — your questions sharpen mine too. So let me be real with you, the way I'd want someone to be real with me.
You asked: does Lamint, or sending a wallet payment here on Tree Chat without the upvalue fee, meet what I mean by digital cash? Honestly — no. And here's the test, simple as I can make it. Both of those are payments inside a platform, for posts or tips, between people already in the system. That's not the question. The question is whether I can take it OUT — to the shop, the bill, to someone far away — and spend it as money among people who've never heard of BSV. That's what cash means. It works for a stranger, outside the walls.
And let me be honest in a way that costs me something, because I hold the coin. I have a bag of BSV. There are apps that run on it — for data. And here's the truth I can't get around: it can't be paid to someone in a way they can actually spend. Where would they go with it? They couldn't. So they'd do what most holders do — just hold it. It sits there. That's not cash. Cash moves. This accumulates.
I don't even raise the "real Bitcoin" legacy stuff, because it doesn't matter. When money needs to move to someone far away, you reach for whatever works — and it isn't BSV. That's not an insult. That's just the plain reality of it.
And on "build, build, build" — I'm all for building. But be honest: nobody's building a peer-to-peer cash system on it, because the cash piece is the one thing that won't build. That's the whole of what I'm asking.
Let's just be honest with ourselves. The more honest we are, the sooner we move forward. That's all I'm here for.
