TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk with Douglas Tuman, Sebastian Perez shares his journey from Brazil to Canada and how his experiences shaped his views on cryptocurrency. He discusses how economic instability and the widespread use of Brazil’s Pix payment system have raised serious concerns about financial privacy.
