TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode, Douglas Tuman meets with John Gotts, host of the fast-rising "Digital Gold Talk" podcast. John’s show has been drawing millions of weekly views and has earned a reputation for moving markets overnight—often sending the coins he evaluates soaring. Together, they dive into Monero and its mission as unstoppable digital cash and the technical features that set it apart. John also breaks down his Digital Gold Standard Benchmark and why it puts Monero’s “fair value” over seven times its current price.
As they talk, Monero’s price climbs in real time, ultimately hitting the symbolic $420 mark live. John outlines his upcoming fund ecosystem aimed at supporting undervalued crypto networks, including major grant funding for Monero development, and he and Doug make plans for future collaborations.
