TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode Douglas Tuman interviews Boaz, a Forbes contributor who published a notable article about Monero last month. The discussion explores his background in crypto, starting from his experiences using Bitcoin for business operations in Cuba, to his current role as a writer for various crypto publications. The conversation delves into Monero's resilience despite widespread delistings, its role in maintaining Bitcoin's original cypherpunk vision, and its growing adoption as digital cash.

Boaz shares insights about his experiences in countries like Cuba and Burma where crypto serves practical purposes. The interview also covers developments in the Monero ecosystem, including XMR Bazaar and the upcoming Serai DEX project. The discussion concludes with perspectives on Monero's future potential, particularly if regulatory clarity allows for easier access through mainstream exchanges.
