Joel Valenzuela: On living off of Crypto & his take on Monero

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman chats with Joel Valenzuela who has been living off of crypto and unbanked since 2016. Joel, like Doug, is passionate about the digital cash use case of crypto.

The two discuss which cryptos are doing digital cash the best and which services/tools make cryptos like monero more useable for day to day cash purposes. Joel is primarily focused on Dash but had positive things to say about monero too.
