"Is the goal to create something that's just for a relatively small group of people that are technically astute enough to be able to use it? Or is the goal to create something that ultimately can become a next generation financial system on Earth? And if the goal is the latter, then you really have to work hard to meet users where they are."

"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 visionβ€”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."

"I appreciate your efforts in creating anonymous money and communication because we share a common enemy - the unjust power structures. An even playing field can only be achieved through anonymity, which will allow small entrepreneurs and cypherpunk entrepreneurs to build anonymous trades for various services. However, this can only be accomplished if we have anonymous money and communication. Monero is working towards building anonymous money that is portable and scalable, and I fully support whoever succeeds in achieving this goal" NOPARA EPI #296 πŸ‘€ Full Epi:

"Maybe they will come out for every miner and say: Hey you need to keep an eye out for these types of ordinal inscriptions and you can't mine anything that includes this sort of thing even though, hey once it's there, it's there.

"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 😎:
