"It's really simple in cryptocurrency. We don't need to make it complicated. What is it about? It's about giving power to people to do what they want, to speak and not be censored, to be able to trade and not be censored...And this system, it's like DNA, DNA [that] is immune to authoritarianism, to tyrants."

"So it's a different culture compared to Bitcoin where they say don't mess with the money and Monero, they don't care if some change is going to affect the price. They just want it to work as designed...And that's something that I very much respect. " Vlad Costea / EPI 321 Watch Here: https://youtube.com/live/1aJYIwVn7Gk?feature=share

" I'm sure everybody listening knows that the U.S. government doesn't want Monero to grow in the way that Bitcoin has. And that's why I think Bitcoin has kind of been chosen...kind of like the petrodollar, it's going to be allowed to grow and prosper. But it will just be another thing still connected to the dollar system. It's not going to circumvent it." Derrick Broze / EPI 320 Link ⛓️‍💥:

"But it needs to be said that the reason government officials don't like this (Monero) is deeply entangled with the reasons why we do believe it is important. We don't want the federal government to have control or any other government to have control to shut down certain types of transactions." Mike Ter Maat / EPI 319 Watch Here:

"We should get this to happen and let's get him out of jail. Let's let's get this guy home. " EPI 318 Watch Here (YouTube) ➡️

"Actually, a cool thing we don't really talk about is not just getting into and out of Monero...So now you have a way to earn on Monero. You take your Monero deposit it into a liquidity pool with Serai DEX and have an opportunity to earn. I don't think this really existed anywhere. So this is a great opportunity." Paul Puey / EPI 317 Watch Here:

"So they asked me at one point...why do you like Monero so much? And I said, 'because it keeps the business of people like me out from underneath the noses of people like you.'" Matt Roach / EPI 316 Watch Here:

"And I think that tools like Monero...we're going to be able to allow to run in parallel to the system and continue to usurp and to take power from the system a bit at a time...'incremental abolition', where we use nonviolent resistance through technology to slowly take power away from the system and the state, and I think it's a beautiful thing." Sterlin Lujan / EPI 315 Watch Here:

"I think it's an incredible testament to what we mean by wanting a decentralized revolution. It's created by, what I like to call software engineers for liberty, because it's just people trying to construct a system where you can have a bank and it's permissionless." The PholosopherX & Jack V. Lloyd / EPI 314 Watch Here:

"You have a public ledger of every transaction that's happened and it's really the antithesis of privacy...Once you add traffic analysis, that kind of thing Bitcoin is, you are basically putting your financial life on a billboard..." Chris Luchini / EPI 313 Link 🔗:

"It (Monero) sounds like something that we need. It would be very beneficial in order to maintain freedom and liberty and reduce the possibility for government to interfere with our lives." Dr. Bradley Rauch / EPI 312 WATCH VIDEO HERE:

"So as the price goes up and everyone sees how degenerate the financial system is and how tyrannical the people controlling it are, hopefully, those people will become more and more detached from the public sense of what's right, which we see all over the place with these campus protests and a lot of other things where I think the public is a lot more grounded, a lot more tied to the idea of the personal freedoms that we're supposed to have in this country." Cryptocomicon / EPI 311 👀Full Epi:

"We want to build tech that's unstoppable by a government, when we say government, we don't mean the US government prosecuting cases against truly bad guys. What we mean is totalitarian governments all around the world that use money to persecute people. That's what we mean...we want to build technology in both of our communities that is resistant to the effort to use money to persecute and hurt people" J. W Verret / EPI 310 Watch Here:

"Most think that Bitcoin is just a speculative asset and most have a negative opinion of it as a speculative asset...when I first got Bitcoin in 2012, it was better money than existed, meaning it was actually faster, it was cheaper and it was peer to peer and no third parties, no banks and censorship resistant, all of those things...so literally in the payment space, the traditional financial system has just leapfrogged crypto." Aaron Day / EPI 309 WATCH HERE :

"So when when did, this is a question no developer likes to answer, but when do we see this actually getting implemented then? It's timeline? Oh This one I have actually provided a very aggressive time frame for. I would hope for the implementation to be ready within about six months. And that's not you know guaranteeing the academic review formalization audits and all of that, but I hope the implementation should be done within six months and I'd hope her notable progress to have been made on all at the Academic Review with that. I do have to distinguish... I do have to distinguish implementation from integration though. Right now, I'm discussing implementation. Integration is technically something distinctly discussed, and I would hope that that is also done in that timeframe, but I cannot speak with as much confidence on that time frame."

"Monero has been very steadfast in its approach with dealing with regulators. You know, its stance being we're building digital cash, and we're not here to bend the knee to any state or any regulator. If exchanges want to delist us, so be it. We're not going to change the protocol in any way to help them comply. Curious how Zano, you know, intends on dealing with these issues. What's your perspective on that?" Andrey Sabelnikov aka Zoidberg / EPI 306 Watch Here 🎬:

"I think it's a nice simple way of looking at it... Monero is the private untraceable version of Bitcoin, let's say, and Zano is the private version of Ethereum... this is the simple way of looking at things. Yeah, we discussed this perception that's pretty much close. I just didn't want to put it that simple, because I think Monero is a very interesting project. It's way more sophisticated and way more innovative than Bitcoin. So I didn't want to compare it with Bitcoin from that perspective, because the number of innovations that have been done by Monero Lab is absolutely amazing in the privacy area. So yeah, I think it will have a pretty interesting future." Andrey Sabelnikov aka Zoidberg / EPI 306 Watch Here:

"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."
