TODAY'S ?SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Ragnar Lifthrasir, an OG Bitcoiner who has increasingly become a staunch support of Monero in light of Bitcoins lack of privacy and fungibility. He is launching a new conference this year called the “Finney Forum” which focuses on Bitcoin privacy tech & Monero.
Together they discuss how Ragnar realized through the gun community some of the flaws of Bitcoin that Monero could fix, what will happen to Bitcoin if the state seizes control? What effect would a ban on Monero have and could it take Monero adoption to the next level? The drama in the Bitcoin community in contrast to the Monero community's cohesion. Doubts about Bitcoin’s censorship resistance in regards to Ocean mining censoring Samourai wallet and Ordinals and more!

TODAY'S ?SHOW: Doug and I headed off to FreedomFest 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. We are happy to report yet again that it was a huge success. We served up fresh Gratuitas this time and spoke to tons of freedom fighters about Monero, the importance of privacy and true digital cash. Lots went on during this short trip.
Doug participated in the price of money panel, which led to a very interesting panel discussion on BTC, gold and Monero with Mark Moss and Rich Checkan.
