TODAY'S SHOW: In this episode of Monero Talk, Douglas Tuman speaks with Ibek from Unstoppable Wallet to discuss privacy, cryptocurrency adoption, and the evolution of self-custody wallets. Ibek explains how his team transitioned from traditional software development into crypto and eventually built Unstoppable Wallet, including the reasoning behind its multi-chain approach and integration of smart-contract networks.

The conversation explores Monero's role in privacy, the challenges of maintaining privacy while providing a convenient wallet experience, and the risks of centralized blacklisting. They also discuss THORChain, decentralized swaps, wallet economics, and which cryptocurrency projects Ibek believes will survive long term.
