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!

A thorough critique of Monero with Giacomo Zucco and Seth for Privacy (Part 3 of 3)

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman continues his conversation with Giacomo and Seth in the final Part 3 of a Thorough critique of Monero. Douglas Tuman sits down with two powerhouse guests. Giacomo Zucco, a Bitcoin OG known for his strong technical understanding of Bitcoin and his belief that all other cryptos will eventually trend to zero against Bitcoin and Seth for Privacy, a privacy and Monero tech expert. Giacomo laid out his criticism of Monero and allowed Seth and Doug to thoroughly respond to each point. The fact is, most of these things have been covered in one form or another on Monero Talk already. But this was an epic, thorough overview.
