Monero Talk
Is Monero the truest cryptocurrency?
About the show
Monero Talk broadcasts weekly conversations on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/c/monerotalk) with topical guests to understand what the Monero cryptocurrency is today and what it hopes to become.
We strive to give birth to new Monero users by simply reporting on the facts in our search to answer the question--Is Monero the truest cryptocurrency of them all? In staying true to the Monero ethos, we aim to always be skeptical. While we are Monero Talk by name, and Monero devotees at heart, the intention of the show is to ultimately discover and support the one blockchain that is most aligned with the original cypherpunk and crypto-anarchist ideals that cryptocurrency was born from. And the one that is most likely to succeed at becoming true digital cash. So far, we believe Monero is the one.
Guests include:
The developers and researchers working on the open source core protocol and the cryptography behind it;
The people building the projects and infrastructure supporting the protocol;
Privacy advocates and people building privacy enhancing technologies;
Analysts and investors speculating on Monero's growth;
Journalists and pundits weighing in on Monero's place in the crypto-sphere; and
Respected (sometimes controversial) contributors and community members.
If you enjoyed the show & would like to support us, a donation of any size would be greatly appreciated and would mean so much!

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Chris Sky. A humans rights advocate born out of the Covid 19 lockdowns who was catapulted to social media fame when he was recorded at a demonstration giving an eloquent and disturbingly accurate prediction on how the Canadian government was going to increasingly take away citizens liberties in their response to covid.
Recently, Sky has been trying to rally support against vaccine mandates and posted a Bitcoin address to raise donations. When it was shown to him how easy it was to see all transactions made to and from his btc address, he decided to give a monero donation address a try and liked the results. Untraceable, super cheap to transact, and simple.
Thank you Chris for approaching crypto with an open mind in search for its true purpose and choosing to have your crypto debut on Monero Talk. We posted Chris’s donation address in the show notes. If you support his activism, please consider sending him an anonymous Monero donation.
