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!

TODAY'S SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Aaron Day - an author, activist, and former presidential candidate. Aaron discusses the potential threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and the need for decentralized alternatives.
He also covers the history and motivations behind the push for CBDCs and just how close we may be to seeing them implemented. They explore the challenges faced by existing cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin in terms of scalability, privacy, and resistance to government control.
The conversation highlights the importance of privacy-focused cryptocurrencies like Monero, to create a parallel economy as an alternative to CBDCs. They also discuss strategies for onboarding people to preserve individual liberties in the face of potential digital tyranny.

Customer Reviews
We are talking about digital cash
Monero is freeze peach money.
Blissfully ignorant
My Tuman is a talented host of this podcast. He is, of course, devoted to the first mover in the privacy space…….Monero! That’s all fine, but he often has guests that he discusses the issues with and they either deceptively or blissfully ignorant that Pirate Chain ($ARRR) has the tech that he is looking for. For example, a recent guest and he discussed Monero and z-cash as if nothing else exists. All his disappointments with Monero are settled with the adoption of Pirate Chain. Wake up buddy!
Trash analysis
Hey, if you want to trash talk Bitcoin because you have Monero bags I get it, but have an actual discussion with Bitcoin users if you plan on having a proper debate. Just saying Monero is better because you think it’s more fungible is disingenuous. All I hear on this podcast is badmouthing bitcoin amongst Monero maximalists. Listen at your own discretion
