In physics, there is the concept of potential energy. Think of it as energy that is waiting to be used, as opposed to kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.
For example, a rock sitting on the edge of a high cliff is a form of stored potential energy due to the fact it’s just sitting there waiting for gravity to bring it down. If someone were to push that rock over the cliff’s edge, it would then start falling towards the ground and be converted into kinetic energy, until it eventually hits the ground and is transformed once again into other forms of energy such as thermal and sound energy.
I bring all this up is because I believe that eCash can be seen as a form of stored potential energy. Behind the paywall, I explain why I think this, what can convert the potential into kinetic energy, and what other forms of energy this could ultimately lead to.

Interesting
I agree. The UX on eCash is one of the best out there.
In fact, I recently made a short article in Binance Square under the title “Stop letting your crypto sit idle in 2026! This is the easiest way to start earning passive income”.
I had to post it because it is soooo easy to start staking with XECX.
And the best part: there is no waiting time, it just appears in the moment you click on it. And it’s the same for unstaking, it’s instantaneous and virtually no fees.
I’m from Brazil and we have PIX, which is an instant payment method with no fees for non-commercial bank accounts. You can choose to pay by scanning a QR code or by typing the user key (mostly phone numbers or emails) and honestly, the user experience of the Cashtab is not that far away from mainstream banking payment like PIX. Even the user interface is not that different.
I hope people give more respect to eCash devs and Bitcoin ABC team, because they’re doing a surprisingly good job.
