"I believe people are afraid that everybody could see their transactions. I don't want people to know how much I have in my bank account or if I went to this place to have a burger, that's something that's not desirable. With a privacy preserving cryptocurrency such as Monero, we can deal with this obstacle." FranΓ§ois-Xavier Wicht / EPI #292 Watch Video Here πŸ˜‰ πŸ˜€:
"I think Monero is a freaking awesome technology. I think privacy is really important for freedom, like I think Edward Snowden says: If people don't have privacy they change their behavior. So even the fact of not having privacy creates less freedom." Michael Ten - EPI #291 WATCH VIDEO HERE 😎:
"If you always believe government is bad, just as a simple premise, it's just healthier. And I think Milei is instilling that into people's minds. As trivial as it sounds, we need that here." Pablo Wasserman/ EPI #290 WATCH VIDEO HERE 😎πŸ₯Έ:
"What do you think about CBDC? They're a real danger I mean, it's a surveillance tool, that's what China is using it for, and when I hear people in the US say we can't let China Get ahead of us on this technology. I say, What are you talking about? This is a complete 1984 technology, if everybody has an account on the books of the Federal Reserve System, then the FED can monitor everybody's transactions in real-time, which is how the Chinese government is using their system" Lawrence H.

"I have said for years, any computer, any phone, any device that supports DRM protected content is a vulnerability and if it touches your Monero, chances are you will lose it. I say the same thing for Bitcoin or for any other cryptocurrency" Francisco CabaΓ±as "ARTICMINE" / EPI #288 WATCH VIDEO HERE 😎πŸ₯Έ:
"If you are in the situation where everything is monitored and everything is surveilled, you are very likely to not say what you really think, to not act in a way that is according to what you really feel to hide information, to not talk truthfully to other people. And that's very, very dangerous." Martin Gundinger / EPI #287 WATCH VIDEO HERE 😎πŸ₯Έ:
"You can continue using these privacy tools, you just have to make sure that you let us know when you're using them and you need to give us all the information about how we can trace the transactions back, what services you use. Don't worry about it, we'll just collect all this information just in case, just to make sure you're not a terrorist. But obviously, the progression is now using these tools is illegal." -Seth for Privacy / EPI #286 WATCH VIDEO HERE 😎πŸ₯Έ
"My goal is to get as many people as possible to be familiar with the ideas. So maybe in 10, 15, 20 years when politicians come out and start to make those promises; 'We will give you heaven on earth, free stuff for everyone' I would like there to be a critical mass of Nigerians who would know that this is BS, this is not true." -Econ Bro / EPI #285 WATCH VIDEO HERE 😎
"…she's just been cut off and she doesn't get to use the CBDC anymore and at least in this scenario which I think is very likely cash is no longer accepted or issued for legal tender. You know we're in a cashless society, because otherwise how are you going to enforce the social policy goals of the CBDC?" - Zelenar XY EPI #285 WATCH VIDEO HERE 😎πŸ₯Έ
"When we think about ID systems, it creates a very limited scope of freedoms which are very well defined, hence they are not as broad as some libertarians may wish. So essentially we are not created equal because only by distinguishing between different people from different territories, by excluding many, some can be free and this is not just." -Ben Biedermann EPI #284 youtu.be/3frhYKHAnzE Subscribe to Link in bio 😎πŸ₯Έ Make sure to subscribe there: https://www.youtube.com/c/monerotalk to get 🚨notified of when the episode is up! πŸ“Ί on YouTube.com/c/monerotalk πŸ“Ί on 🎧 to Podcast: monerotalk.live Special thanks to our sponsors @cakewallet Stealth.io . . . . #privacycoin #tech #xmr #freedom #xmrnews #news #crypto #lbry #privacy #cryptonews #decentralized #monero #technology @lbry #technologynews #moneronews #monero #bitcoin #btc #mining #encryptionwetrust #monerooutreach @monerooutreach #cakewallet @moneroportugal #cash #digitalcash
