TODAY'S SHOW: Doug sits down with Joel Valenzuela to discuss the recently disclosed Zcash exploit and what it signals for the future of cryptocurrency security. Joel argues that advances in AI will make vulnerability discovery faster and more effective, forcing all crypto projects—including Monero—to rethink long-held security assumptions.
The conversation examines how the Zcash team handled the exploit, the risks of hidden inflation bugs, and the unique challenges privacy-focused cryptocurrencies face when auditing supply and security. Doug and Joel also compare Monero and Zcash, discuss decentralized exchange infrastructure, privacy coin adoption, and the broader outlook for digital cash in an increasingly regulated and AI-driven world.

TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode Douglas Tuman talks with Cryptocomicon about the long-term strategic case for Monero, especially in the context of growing stablecoin adoption, increasing surveillance in crypto, and the failures of transparent blockchains. Cryptocomicon argues that Monero’s value proposition becomes stronger as governments and institutions push toward regulated digital money systems that normalize financial surveillance.
They explore how Monero fits into the broader evolution of crypto, why transparent chains create structural problems for users, how stablecoins may unintentionally accelerate demand for private money, and why Monero remains uniquely positioned despite market narratives, exchange delistings, and VC-driven competition from projects like Zcash.
