The Monerotopia weekly news segment is sponsored by WizardSwap.io

00:09.930 --> 00:12.730
Anon custodial cryptocurrency exchange

00:14.390 --> 00:18.170
You can use Tor to axard WizardSwap by the way

00:18.170 --> 00:23.530
You can WizardSwap dubbies in the chat for WizardSwap. Love would just swap through the best

00:24.710 --> 00:31.530
Alright, so Tony could not make it. So I'm going to be running the news. So forgive me. Oh, yeah, okay, these links

00:32.670 --> 00:34.410
Thank you so much tux

00:35.210 --> 00:36.150
All right

00:37.930 --> 00:38.490
So

00:39.250 --> 00:40.090
first up

00:40.750 --> 00:43.130
Which is what was discussed a little bit earlier

00:44.350 --> 00:50.070
Was that Kraken is delisting XMR within Europe very bad news today from Kraken

00:50.070 --> 00:55.550
I guess p2p is the only way to go from now on. We'll install have you know a sappet right out

00:56.490 --> 00:57.610
Yeah Kraken

00:58.290 --> 01:03.850
Had an announcement that October 31st. They'll be halting trading in deposits of all XMR

01:06.130 --> 01:11.250
Pairs and it looks like you'll have until December to withdraw that from the Kraken platform

01:11.250 --> 01:16.610
So we'll see how this goes. I'm expecting it to go a lot better than Binance did

01:17.270 --> 01:23.370
And not be like a fake sell-off like what happened with Binance delisted mineral in Europe

01:23.370 --> 01:26.350
But we'll see what happens with that. Hopefully it doesn't

01:26.350 --> 01:28.330
Cause too much of an issue

01:31.510 --> 01:39.290
Next up irs is cracking down hard next year the irs can trace Bitcoin mixer transactions

01:39.290 --> 01:44.390
Many will get big tax bills soon. Do you really think privacy run won't happen?

01:47.350 --> 01:54.830
I'm not sure exactly what I am looking at here. I think this is some sort of search result of

01:56.290 --> 01:58.930
Of somebody looking up irs trace

02:00.330 --> 02:04.530
So this is a slightly low quality but

02:05.730 --> 02:07.630
If I can find this

02:08.790 --> 02:14.150
If I if someone if someone has this actual article of whatever is being pulled from here

02:14.150 --> 02:16.490
Please link that and I'll go ahead and show that

02:17.190 --> 02:24.170
That would be interesting to know if the irs is no ease. I mean, it's it's unsurprising like Bitcoin mixing is not as

02:24.830 --> 02:28.490
Not as strong as Minero just using something like Minero as you cash

02:28.490 --> 02:33.510
But that'd be interesting to know if they are tracing effect easily tracing mixed transactions

02:35.330 --> 02:44.830
Chain analysis CEO AI agents could be policing all crypto tx's within five years and here we have an actual article from coin telegraph

02:44.830 --> 02:45.370
I

02:47.930 --> 02:49.390
Chain also CEO Michael

02:50.150 --> 02:55.550
Groninger believes it's not much further away before governments use AI agents to catch on chain crypto wrongdoers

02:55.550 --> 03:02.910
Government prosecutors and taxation authorities will use artificial intelligence to scan the blockchain and solve crime within the next five years

03:02.910 --> 03:05.170
according to the CEO of chain analysis

03:06.430 --> 03:07.450
Chain analysis

03:08.150 --> 03:16.650
It's not much further away as a chain analysis CEO Michael Groninger when coin telegraph asked asked whether generative AI agents could step through the blockchain for

03:16.650 --> 03:18.650
governments within three to five years and

03:19.930 --> 03:24.370
Some years from now crypto would be more or less the only way you would want to solve crime because it's far more scalable

03:24.370 --> 03:27.410
It's far easier as far transparent. It's very transparent

03:27.410 --> 03:34.590
You can do it internationally and you could see a lot more insights. So this is just speaking to how Bitcoin is like a haven

03:35.360 --> 03:38.170
for it's like it's like gold for these

03:39.350 --> 03:41.470
intelligence agencies and

03:41.470 --> 03:43.010
anybody trying to

03:43.750 --> 03:44.610
sniff out

03:45.810 --> 03:52.930
People's transaction data. It makes it so much easier. You don't have to go through all this legal framework of you know

03:53.670 --> 03:55.290
doing subpoenas or

03:55.990 --> 04:00.310
Getting approval or whatever you can just you can just look at it. It's public, right?

04:00.930 --> 04:01.510
and

04:02.030 --> 04:04.290
internationally, you don't have to be

04:04.290 --> 04:10.850
necessarily involved with other governments because it's it's public. It's there. You don't have to do anything, right? You don't have to

04:11.530 --> 04:17.270
Try to subpoena some foreign bank or whatever to get transaction details from someone's accounts. Just it's all there

04:18.170 --> 04:20.490
So AI will definitely make this easier in the future

04:21.610 --> 04:22.090
warranting

04:22.770 --> 04:24.550
the further use of privacy coins

04:25.290 --> 04:26.850
It's good to see that Monero is gonna

04:27.610 --> 04:28.890
get ahead of the curb

04:30.330 --> 04:35.030
In the coming year to help reduce this possibility even further

04:36.570 --> 04:38.610
But even using Manero right now is still

04:39.310 --> 04:41.230
infinitely better than using Bitcoin

04:46.600 --> 04:51.000
I just pull up the next one here. Hopefully it'll load and not give me any issues

04:51.000 --> 05:06.280
All right, we have a tweet about Donald Trump's on crypto

05:06.940 --> 05:11.720
Manero Maverick says this is a rug. He's going to crash it then regulate crypto to the ground

05:11.720 --> 05:17.240
Who can survive? So this is Donald Trump's tweet. I think this is from this is from like 2016

05:17.960 --> 05:19.500
This is from quite a long time ago

05:20.000 --> 05:24.160
He used this this is the opinion used to hell that it might still be his actual opinion now

05:24.160 --> 05:27.120
Who knows? He says I am not a fan of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies

05:27.120 --> 05:30.960
Which are not money and whose value is highly volatile and based on thin air

05:30.960 --> 05:35.700
Unregulated crypto assets can facilitate unlawful behavior including drug trade and other illegal activity

05:36.940 --> 05:38.360
And you compare that to now

05:38.360 --> 05:44.020
Where he said I promise to make America great again this time the crypto at world liberty fi is playing to help make

05:44.620 --> 05:49.800
America the crypto capital of the world the white the white list for eligible persons is officially open

05:49.800 --> 05:55.480
This is your chance to be part of the historic moment join blah blah blah whatever world liberty financial.com

05:57.440 --> 05:58.400
Yeah, it's

05:58.400 --> 06:01.820
I think it's just he's he's

06:01.820 --> 06:03.180
Forced to get on this

06:03.960 --> 06:09.860
For the voter base because people like care about this a lot more than they did before I don't know if he actually

06:10.620 --> 06:18.020
I would tend to agree that he probably doesn't care about bitcoin or crypto that much. Um, it's more of just a ploy to

06:19.260 --> 06:24.640
To appease to the voter base, which he has to do because it's it's a big it's such a big thing now

06:26.640 --> 06:29.760
Um, he's gonna crash it the regular crypto to the ground. I don't know

06:29.760 --> 06:38.240
Uh, we'll see how that plays out. He said some good things about crypto. Um, in terms of like having, you know, the right to self custody and

06:39.160 --> 06:41.440
Basically touching the market less

06:42.080 --> 06:45.500
But if you go and look back at previous things he said like this

06:45.500 --> 06:49.720
Doesn't paint a pretty picture for sure. Uh, so we'll see how much of this

06:50.240 --> 06:55.560
Is actually true how much of it's just, you know, blatant lies. Uh, we'll see how that plays out, of course

06:58.400 --> 06:58.840
And

06:59.560 --> 07:01.600
Uh, moving on we've got this

07:02.480 --> 07:07.260
Uh, another reddit post here. Manero is about the scariest coin out there today. If you look at torn

07:07.840 --> 07:09.240
I don't even know what torn is

07:09.240 --> 07:16.560
It was at 40 before the government outlawed it now at $2.50. Anyone's wallet interacting with it will be prosecuted

07:16.560 --> 07:23.160
What if they do the same to xmr? It could go to 20. I know the thing I keep hearing how someone has cracked the code to see transactions in xmr

07:23.160 --> 07:30.980
Uh, yeah, this is more of like a question. Um, which I believe this has probably been challenged in the comments here

07:34.920 --> 07:42.080
Like by here's a comment by minarell bowl responding to this minarell dip to 97 euros when it was listed for finance now at 138

07:42.880 --> 07:48.140
Uh, minarell use is quite basic cryptography. What you hear about is people who get busted despite using minarell

07:48.140 --> 07:54.540
What those articles as people that have mentioned is how exactly the bust actually happened and it's never going through tracing minarell directly

07:55.200 --> 08:00.400
Bitfinex hack these minarell, but also used bitcoin tied to kyc'd sexes to get them busted

08:00.400 --> 08:05.960
Nordic healthcare hacker use minarell, but also upload his entire home directory in case you guys don't remember that one

08:05.960 --> 08:11.400
He uploaded his entire home directory, which included personal info to the the leak dumps

08:11.400 --> 08:14.460
On the dark web, which is very hilarious

08:15.300 --> 08:18.560
Incognito markets ferro while signed in googled about what

08:19.100 --> 08:23.340
To do when your server is offline while the feds were currently available copying the server's data, which is why it was down

08:23.340 --> 08:25.660
Yeah, this is this is the case with all these

08:26.500 --> 08:31.180
This is this is the same thing with all these cases of people getting arrested that has

08:31.640 --> 08:34.660
Some relation to minarell, but it's almost never

08:35.520 --> 08:39.140
Well, it's never through tracing minarell directly. It's always do something external

08:39.640 --> 08:42.280
And there's things that minarell can be improved out of course

08:42.900 --> 08:47.780
But the whole point being is that well, none of these people were actually found directly through tracing minarell

08:47.780 --> 08:51.580
It was something entirely external not even related to it most of the time. So

08:52.140 --> 08:53.680
Yeah, that being said just

08:54.520 --> 08:55.480
Be smart

08:55.480 --> 09:02.220
Uh, and you know also be smart with how use your minarell, but you know, don't do stupid stuff like upload your home directory to a

09:02.740 --> 09:04.400
Darknet dump. Yeah

09:04.400 --> 09:10.160
All right, coming up next we've got

09:13.680 --> 09:20.280
Fluffy on the minarelly listing from kraken. This is a tweet here from fluffy pony kraken
