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.
Build thinkers, not followers.

Don't take it as an insult, but as an objective assessment from a great connoisseur and passionate about languages... You have a rhetorical and annoying dialect, very reminiscent of the games played by politicians in debates... Now, if BSV is not considered a "convenient" payment for all parties involved, it is mainly because it has been opposed, marginalized and defamed by the narrative of enthusiastic BTCoiners and Shibainucoiners of the moment to make profits on technologies clearly inferior to BSV... Now... You keep saying what's wrong, whats missing, and what isn't... Please enlighten us, explain Clearly what you want to satisfy your P2P use and Let s Do It...
