TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, Douglas Tuman chats with Vik Sharma, founder of Cake Wallet, about the wallet's milestone of 1 million downloads and 450,000 monthly active users. Vik shares how Cake Wallet, initially a Monero-only wallet, has expanded to support Bitcoin, Litecoin, and more—while staying true to its open-source and privacy-focused roots.

The conversation covers Cake Wallet's relationship with the Monero community, privacy coins' growing attention (especially Zcash), and why Monero remains the preferred choice for actual use. The episode wraps up with thoughts on how Monero can stay ahead in the privacy space and the goal of creating a global peer-to-peer economy where people can "live off Monero."
