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!

Decentralized Digital ID’s Built on Monero that Preserve Privacy w/ Ben Biedermann
TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Ben Biedermann, a Digital ID expert.
The two discuss the concept building of a decentralized digital ID system on top of Monero outside of the traditional State ID system that preserves privacy & why it’s important for the private market to build its own digital IDs that can compete with the government ones,
they also discuss XMR Bazaar, the Monero marketplace that Douglas is building, would implementing Digital IDs into the marketplace be beneficial and what would the technological implementation be? Why Monero is a better suited platform for building a digital identity system on top of other chains, and finally, is the Monero ethos compatible with decentralized digital IDs .

What it means for Bitcoin if we know Adam Back is Satoshi w/ Nima Bagheri
TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Nima Bagheri, BOo-Ge-ri a cybersecurity expert who has investigated on who Satoshi Nakamoto is and claims , with nearly 100% certainty, that it is Adam Back.
The two discuss how Nima came to this conclusion and why he thinks it matters that the Satoshi Nakamoto mystery is solved. Nima also talks about how no cryptocurrency currently on the market is totally untraceable and that with his skills he could create one but why he doesn't want to.
They then talk about the current capabilities of Chainalysis to track Monero and if it’s possible that the government is hiding their capabilities to track people for the time being, the current state of America and much more!
