Monero Talk
Monero Talk broadcasts weekly conversations on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/c/monerotalk) with topical guests to understand what the Monero cryptocurrency is today and what it hopes to become.
We strive to give birth to new Monero users by simply reporting on the facts in our search to answer the question--Is Monero the truest cryptocurrency of them all? In staying true to the Monero ethos, we aim to always be skeptical. While we are Monero Talk by name, and Monero devotees at heart, the intention of the show is to ultimately discover and support the one blockchain that is most aligned with the original cypherpunk and crypto-anarchist ideals that cryptocurrency was born from. And the one that is most likely to succeed at becoming true digital cash. So far, we believe Monero is the one.
Guests include:
The developers and researchers working on the open source core protocol and the cryptography behind it;
The people building the projects and infrastructure supporting the protocol;
Privacy advocates and people building privacy enhancing technologies;
Analysts and investors speculating on Monero's growth;
Journalists and pundits weighing in on Monero's place in the crypto-sphere; and
Respected (sometimes controversial) contributors and community members.
If you enjoyed the show & would like to support us, a donation of any size would be greatly appreciated and would mean so much!

Stablecoins are a backdoor CBDC w/ Aaron Day | EPI 352
Any donation is greatly appreciated!
47e6GvjL4in5Zy5vVHMb9PQtGXQAcFvWSCQn2fuwDYZoZRk3oFjefr51WBNDGG9EjF1YDavg7pwGDFSAVWC5K42CBcLLv5U

TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, Douglas Tuman and Aaron Day explore the growing threat of stablecoins as a covert form of CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency), with Aaron warning that the situation has worsened dramatically—“100 times worse than a year ago.” He critiques the Trump administration’s stance, noting that despite public opposition to CBDCs, its policies are paving the way for a backdoor digital currency through stablecoin regulation.
Key figures like Brian Brooks and Howard Lutnick—linked to major stablecoins and now in influential government roles—highlight what Aaron describes as a Silicon Valley and “PayPal mafia” takeover of policy. The proposed Genius Act and Stable Act would require stablecoins to be fully backed by U.S. Treasuries, effectively forcing users to fund government debt and surveillance systems.
With projections of $120 trillion in stablecoin transactions by 2030, Aaron calls this “turbo cancer for CBDC adoption.” The sheer scale of these numbers underscores the urgency he sees in resisting the push toward centralized digital money.
The conversation then shifts to solutions within the privacy coin space, emphasizing unity against technocratic control. Aaron highlights FUSD (Freedom Dollar), a private algorithmic stablecoin built on Zano, which offers an alternative by being over-collateralized with Zano rather than tied to government-backed assets. He discusses Zano’s technical advantages, including its deflationary model, while defending its pre-mine as a necessary step for development funding.
Both hosts stress the importance of collaboration across privacy projects like Monero, Tari, and Zano to resist systemic control. They also preview Porkfest, where they’ll host a privacy tent and welcome Ross Ulbricht and his mother Lynn, who is launching a new advocacy initiative.

TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode Douglas Tuman talks about technical analysis and market trends with Kevin Wadsworth, an experienced technical analyst from the UK. Monero Talk typically focuses on fundamentals rather than technical analysis, but the current market conditions made it relevant to discuss price movements and broader market trends.
Kevin presented detailed analysis of various markets, including the S&P 500, gold, Bitcoin, and Monero. He demonstrated how technical analysis can predict major market moves by showing historical examples, particularly with gold price predictions from 2019 that proved accurate.
The discussion explored the relationship between different markets, with Kevin explaining how cryptocurrencies remain strongly correlated with stock markets despite occasional short-term divergences. He presented evidence suggesting a potential 'melt-up' scenario in the coming months, while also warning of longer-term risks.

TODAY'S SHOW: In this episdoe Douglas Tuman has a discussion about Tari, a new blockchain project, with the founders Naveen and Ricardo (@FluffyPony). The conversation covers multiple aspects of the project's development and launch.
Naveen emphasizes Tari's unique features, including its accessibility and user-friendly interface through Tari Universe. He explained that Tari offers default confidentiality powered by a minimal implementation, making it different from other protocols like Ethereum or Solana. Ricardo detailed the technical aspects of Tari's privacy features, comparing them to Monero but noting that Tari's privacy model is intentionally different.
Both founders highlighted the relationship with Monero, explaining that Tari's merge mining feature has already contributed to increasing Monero's hash rate to an all-time high. They emphasized that Tari is not competing with Monero but rather complementing it in the ecosystem.
