    <description>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 &amp; would like to support us, a donation of any size would be greatly appreciated and would mean so much!

  <itunes:subtitle>TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode Douglas Tuman talks about technical analysis and market trends with Kevin Wadsworth, an experienced technical analyst from the UK. Monero Talk typically focuses on fundamentals rather than technical analysis, but the current market conditions made it relevant to discuss price movements and broader market trends.

Kevin presented detailed analysis of various markets, including the S&amp;P 500, gold, Bitcoin, and Monero. He demonstrated how technical analysis can predict major market moves by showing historical examples, particularly with gold price predictions from 2019 that proved accurate.

The discussion explored the relationship between different markets, with Kevin explaining how cryptocurrencies remain strongly correlated with stock markets despite occasional short-term divergences. He presented evidence suggesting a potential 'melt-up' scenario in the coming months, while also warning of longer-term risks.</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Benjamin Shaffer who works as legal counsel for Goldback - the company producing the world’s first physical, interchangeable, gold money notes.
The two weigh the similarities and differences between Monero and Goldbacks, buying goldbacks with monero, the minting process and why Goldbacks are harder to counterfeit than Dollar bills, how holding effects adoption and usage, and more!

<p>The two weigh the similarities and differences between Monero and Goldbacks, buying goldbacks with monero, the minting process and why Goldbacks are harder to counterfeit than Dollar bills, how holding effects adoption and usage, and more!</p>

  <itunes:subtitle>TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Keith Weiner, CEO of Monetary Metals, a platform for products that offer investors a yield on gold, paid in gold. 

Keith shares why he believes in the gold standard and his reasoning for why he does not see crypto as capable of being a better form of money. 

Unfortunately Keith’s time was limited so Doug was unable to fully dive into Monero with Keith to explain the nuances of things like, Monero’s fungibility and tail emission, in comparison to gold, but perhaps this is for the best, allowing Keith to take a closer look at Monero before getting back together for a Part 2. </itunes:subtitle>
