"When you make it really hard for people to buy a crypto asset and nevertheless the price goes up, that tells you there's a lot of underlying latent demand for it. My hunch is that this demand is utility driven rather than speculation" Sobradob EPI 341 We discuss: -Boaz's Journey Discovering Crypto -Monero - Under the Radar With Real Use Cases -Monero Ecosystem Growth Watch full EPI: https://youtube.com/live/r2ZhoPAglJQ?feature=share

"It doesn't make sense to be religious about Bitcoin. If something is not working...you can still contribute to other projects that prioritize privacy and freedom. Monero has the best chance to fulfill that vision—it’s already being used as digital cash where privacy matters most."

"I think it's a nice simple way of looking at it... Monero is the private untraceable version of Bitcoin, let's say, and Zano is the private version of Ethereum... this is the simple way of looking at things. Yeah, we discussed this perception that's pretty much close. I just didn't want to put it that simple, because I think Monero is a very interesting project. It's way more sophisticated and way more innovative than Bitcoin. So I didn't want to compare it with Bitcoin from that perspective, because the number of innovations that have been done by Monero Lab is absolutely amazing in the privacy area. So yeah, I think it will have a pretty interesting future." Andrey Sabelnikov aka Zoidberg / EPI 306 Watch Here:

"The downstream liability aspect of what Roman was charged with and how it all played out is very scary for anybody who uses Bitcoin and Monero. The idea that you can get prosecuted for somebody else's crimes because of this misidentification is downright scary. And I think that that's one of the things that we're going to have to educate people on, was that Chainalysis and other blockchain surveillance companies are moving beyond KYC, know your customer and towards KYT, know your transaction. So this blockchain surveillance dragnet is going to expand and try to identify every single transaction. But in attempting to develop that dragnet, there's a lot of assumptions that are going to be made and they're not all going to be correct. And the accuracy of the software and being presented as something that is completely accurate and given a law enforcement as facts when really there's all these assumptions baked into it, makes it even more scarier when they're trying to combine, know your transaction with this misunderstanding of flow of control and flow of funds."
