"Well, what I think that the world is overly regulated and to have a system where the rules are clear from the beginning, like when you have the cryptocurrency and the rules of spending, rules of having, and they are fixed and they're not going to change during just just someone decides, okay, I need to do this. So in that case, having that system is really nice. And I think the world sooner or later you understand that we as a whole humanity of whole society, we need some kind of a system where the rules will be fixed from the beginning and not be changed during the game." Vasilii Rogin of CryptoPoll / EPI 305 Watch Here (YouTube) ➡️

"The downstream liability aspect of what Roman was charged with and how it all played out is very scary for anybody who uses Bitcoin and Monero. The idea that you can get prosecuted for somebody else's crimes because of this misidentification is downright scary. And I think that that's one of the things that we're going to have to educate people on, was that Chainalysis and other blockchain surveillance companies are moving beyond KYC, know your customer and towards KYT, know your transaction. So this blockchain surveillance dragnet is going to expand and try to identify every single transaction. But in attempting to develop that dragnet, there's a lot of assumptions that are going to be made and they're not all going to be correct. And the accuracy of the software and being presented as something that is completely accurate and given a law enforcement as facts when really there's all these assumptions baked into it, makes it even more scarier when they're trying to combine, know your transaction with this misunderstanding of flow of control and flow of funds."

"The real beauty of freedom is like, even in systems where things are constructed with so many restrictions and control grids that exist, that you feel like you'll never get out of that kind of control grid, you still have people who can think their way out of it. And I think that's the real beauty of crypto in general, not like this one coin or that one coin, but it's like, in general, was this whole thought process of we're going to think our way out of this economic enslavement, you know, we're going to create a whole other system that we can use to have economic freedom, which, you know, in a debt slave society is real freedom." Sam Bent aka Doing Fed Time EPI #303 Watch 📺:

"And what I'm hearing is there's, this year as well, there's kind of ideologically, people want more privacy, they want to see that more is being implemented. The average retail participant is not sophisticated enough to be able to judge these different technologies and in some cases they've FOMO-ed into crypto in one ecosystem or another and then discovered too late, that they want to add privacy somehow to their holdings. And so what they're looking for is forward privacy, right after they've already gotten invested. And I'm trying to figure out how do I add this and that's been my question too. And I love that what you're hearing is that there's a greater commitment to the idea of privacy." Luke Parker,SirJamz & Seth Estrada / EPI #301 Watch Here (YouTube) ➡️

"To get decentralized e-commerce, we need to have decentralized liquidity. And underpinning all those steps has to be privacy, a private thought is the safest thought. And that allows true freedom of expression between two parties. So you have to have a truly private liquidity ecosystem. Monero has achieved that. So you need to have a truly private means of exchanging and sharing that liquidity, which is partly what we're doing through BasicSwap DEX." Dr. KAPIL /  EPI #299 WATCH:

"And so I got into private Bitcoin as a way to make anonymous payments online that were maybe more importantly, evading censorship, not dealing with the absolutely scummy, slimy financial system that we have today, right? All this good stuff, permissionless, person to person transactions. So that's why I got into private Bitcoin a few years ago. And for me, I didn't care about the price. I didn't care about investment. I didn't understand the value of it that all these people thought it was going to X dollar amount. And so for me, it was a tool. And then of course, I learned about Monero and it was an even better tool" Gabriel Custodiet / EPI #298 Watch Here (YouTube) ➡️

“…That's what it's become and it's not practical. And that issue we were talking about previously about Monero caring about the user actually getting something out of it and the darknet markets is partly the key to that insight, is that people actually use it to accomplish a purpose...” Paul Sztorc (@Truthcoin) EPI #297 WATCH VIDEO HERE 😎🥸:

"I appreciate your efforts in creating anonymous money and communication because we share a common enemy - the unjust power structures. An even playing field can only be achieved through anonymity, which will allow small entrepreneurs and cypherpunk entrepreneurs to build anonymous trades for various services. However, this can only be accomplished if we have anonymous money and communication. Monero is working towards building anonymous money that is portable and scalable, and I fully support whoever succeeds in achieving this goal" NOPARA EPI #296 👀 Full Epi:

"What is your Monero price prediction for 2024? I think it depends on the effect of the D listings, if they happen." Nate aka eatsleepcrypto EPI #295 WATCH VIDEO HERE 😎🥸:

"Maybe they will come out for every miner and say: Hey you need to keep an eye out for these types of ordinal inscriptions and you can't mine anything that includes this sort of thing even though, hey once it's there, it's there. You can't double spend, you really can't double spend once or twice" Ragnar Lifthrasir EPI #293 WATCH VIDEO HERE 😎🥸:

"I believe people are afraid that everybody could see their transactions. I don't want people to know how much I have in my bank account or if I went to this place to have a burger, that's something that's not desirable. With a privacy preserving cryptocurrency such as Monero, we can deal with this obstacle." François-Xavier Wicht / EPI #292 Watch Video Here 😉 😀:

"I think Monero is a freaking awesome technology. I think privacy is really important for freedom, like I think Edward Snowden says: If people don't have privacy they change their behavior. So even the fact of not having privacy creates less freedom." Michael Ten - EPI #291 WATCH VIDEO HERE 😎:

"If you always believe government is bad, just as a simple premise, it's just healthier. And I think Milei is instilling that into people's minds. As trivial as it sounds, we need that here." Pablo Wasserman/ EPI #290 WATCH VIDEO HERE 😎🥸:

"What do you think about CBDC? They're a real danger I mean, it's a surveillance tool, that's what China is using it for, and when I hear people in the US say we can't let China Get ahead of us on this technology. I say, What are you talking about? This is a complete 1984 technology, if everybody has an account on the books of the Federal Reserve System, then the FED can monitor everybody's transactions in real-time, which is how the Chinese government is using their system" Lawrence H. White / EPI #289 Watch Here (YouTube) ➡️

"I have said for years, any computer, any phone, any device that supports DRM protected content is a vulnerability and if it touches your Monero, chances are you will lose it. I say the same thing for Bitcoin or for any other cryptocurrency" Francisco Cabañas "ARTICMINE" / EPI #288 WATCH VIDEO HERE 😎🥸:

"If you are in the situation where everything is monitored and everything is surveilled, you are very likely to not say what you really think, to not act in a way that is according to what you really feel to hide information, to not talk truthfully to other people. And that's very, very dangerous." Martin Gundinger / EPI #287 WATCH VIDEO HERE 😎🥸:

"You can continue using these privacy tools, you just have to make sure that you let us know when you're using them and you need to give us all the information about how we can trace the transactions back, what services you use. Don't worry about it, we'll just collect all this information just in case, just to make sure you're not a terrorist. But obviously, the progression is now using these tools is illegal." -Seth for Privacy / EPI #286 WATCH VIDEO HERE 😎🥸

"My goal is to get as many people as possible to be familiar with the ideas. So maybe in 10, 15, 20 years when politicians come out and start to make those promises; 'We will give you heaven on earth, free stuff for everyone' I would like there to be a critical mass of Nigerians who would know that this is BS, this is not true." -Econ Bro / EPI #285 WATCH VIDEO HERE 😎

"…she's just been cut off and she doesn't get to use the CBDC anymore and at least in this scenario which I think is very likely cash is no longer accepted or issued for legal tender. You know we're in a cashless society, because otherwise how are you going to enforce the social policy goals of the CBDC?" - Zelenar XY EPI #285 WATCH VIDEO HERE 😎🥸

"When we think about ID systems, it creates a very limited scope of freedoms which are very well defined, hence they are not as broad as some libertarians may wish. So essentially we are not created equal because only by distinguishing between different people from different territories, by excluding many, some can be free and this is not just." -Ben Biedermann EPI #284 youtu.be/3frhYKHAnzE Subscribe to Link in bio 😎🥸 Make sure to subscribe there: https://www.youtube.com/c/monerotalk to get 🚨notified of when the episode is up! 📺 on YouTube.com/c/monerotalk 📺 on
