milton friedman in 1990 on the future development of perfectly private ecash. i appreciate how he describes the push ux of ecash as just like handing someone a dollar bill. https://blossom.primal.net/...

I would be interested to know, what specifically, convinced Friedman in 1990, that this was almost certain to happen.

I dno how he knew. But he had an incredible mind. So I'm not surprised he knew.

he must have been aware of david chaum's efforts with digicash. i believe this emphasis on 'trustless' acknowledges one of the fundamental reasons digicash failed.
