WEBVTT 00:11.860 --> 00:18.280 Hey Raphael. Hello CryptoRidge. Thank you for having us. It is a pleasure to be here. Awesome to 00:18.280 --> 00:25.040 hear your voice again. I think I've had you on our show twice in the past. Yes, you've been on 00:25.040 --> 00:33.580 my show that was a few years ago. Yeah, so I'm happy to reconnect and yeah it's well I'm just 00:33.580 --> 00:39.220 honored to be here with you and with Mr. X. Mr. X is my business partner at the CryptoVigilante. 00:39.920 --> 00:50.560 He is the I think I consider him to be the the analyst the most important analyst when it comes 00:50.560 --> 00:59.160 to privacy coins. I was blessed to meet Mr. X right around the time when Nero came out. 01:00.120 --> 01:11.980 And we've been friends since and then he's a Bitcoin OG like myself. We don't agree at all 01:11.980 --> 01:19.700 or somewhat throughout Bitcoin history. We've actually took opposite stances regarding the 01:19.700 --> 01:26.520 Bitcoin civil war but our friendship kept prospering you know because that's what you know that's 01:26.520 --> 01:30.580 what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to communicate and keep the channels of communication 01:30.580 --> 01:38.300 open even if you disagree. So I've been able to foster a great friendship with Mr. X throughout 01:38.300 --> 01:46.020 the years with Jeff Burwick of the DollarVigilante and Ed Bougos the Golden Lantern as we like 01:46.020 --> 01:51.600 to call him. We started the CryptoVigilante as an offshoot of the DollarVigilante 01:52.280 --> 01:58.940 and we carried on to create the the Vigilante Insiders Club which is a premiere a club where 01:58.940 --> 02:05.820 investors have direct access to us to you know learn from us as we analyze the market in real 02:05.820 --> 02:13.200 time. So sorry Rafael excuse me a second and I should have said this earlier so the website is 02:13.200 --> 02:22.260 CryptoVigilante.io CryptoVigilante.io and you offer, well what do you offer like you do 02:23.420 --> 02:31.080 analysis? We focus on cryptocurrencies. Yes well we focus on the most important questions 02:31.080 --> 02:36.480 regarding space which is the what is it that we're talking about the what and then we call 02:36.480 --> 02:42.420 that fundamental analysis. We focus on the when technical analysis, when to get out, 02:42.420 --> 02:49.780 when to get in you know and we focus on option security and how, how do I actually use these 02:50.900 --> 02:57.020 properly, how do I actually use these in a way that I can use my stuff in a way that I can 02:57.020 --> 03:06.260 see myself. So that's our research in the how, when and the what we're talking about. 03:07.020 --> 03:14.980 So we have a pretty amazing team. The technicalists were the first guys were of the group of the first 03:14.980 --> 03:21.220 guys who first charted Bitcoin in the Bitcoin talk forums in 2010. And this is a group that 03:21.220 --> 03:28.040 went on to create a what I can I think it was a first newsletter in Bitcoin history called the 03:28.040 --> 03:34.320 Bitcoin Bull Bear which later on went to be called Bull Bear Analytics. Well that team is now 03:34.320 --> 03:41.000 that is the Crypto Vigilante. That's part of the Crypto Vigilante now. So we have the most seasoned 03:42.840 --> 03:48.400 crew when it comes to technical analysis. Mr. X was part of that crew himself. He was one of 03:48.400 --> 03:56.780 the earliest members of that of that network. And so you know I'm just pretty blessed to have 03:56.780 --> 04:06.700 these Bitcoin OG geniuses around me on a daily basis from what I learn and grow with all the time. 04:06.880 --> 04:12.620 And so look, why did we create this? We didn't need to create the Crypto Vigilante. We didn't 04:12.620 --> 04:18.140 need it. We were all Bitcoin OGs. The reason why we have this is because the most important 04:18.140 --> 04:24.460 aspect of these technologies is not the economic structure, not how it's being presented in the 04:24.460 --> 04:30.380 market or received by governments. It's not the technology. Believe it or not, the most 04:30.380 --> 04:35.840 important aspect of these technologies is the knowledge held by the individuals that come 04:35.840 --> 04:44.780 into these networks. And these technologies if they stand alone, they can be used for any 04:44.780 --> 04:50.940 reason right for any purpose. It's just technology. What matters is that people 04:50.940 --> 04:56.920 learn about these technologies so that they may use these technologies in ways that is best for all 04:56.920 --> 05:04.360 of us. So I consider these technologies all to be a weapon per se that could be used for anything. 05:04.780 --> 05:12.340 It's just a tool. These technologies are a tool. So the strength and the value of these networks 05:12.940 --> 05:19.680 really comes down to the quality of knowledge and skills that the investors of these networks 05:20.240 --> 05:27.600 hold within themselves. So education is of utmost importance. The most important aspect of Bitcoin 05:27.600 --> 05:35.620 is the Bitcoin or the most important aspect of Monero is the Monero individual that's part 05:35.620 --> 05:44.520 of the network. So Mr. X, I want you to introduce yourself a little bit. I think Mr. X was 05:45.380 --> 05:52.320 setting up his voice disguiser. He's really into privacy. So I don't know if, and he's 05:52.840 --> 06:00.280 talking to us through a Linux machine and a bunch of his configurations. 06:02.080 --> 06:07.580 I don't know why he bought this. Everybody knows that his real identity is Mr. X. 06:07.580 --> 06:15.140 Yeah, we got a sus Mr. X. Okay. Well, Mr. X, whenever you're ready, you can just interrupt 06:15.140 --> 06:21.100 the conversation and then we'll come to you. Perfect. Perfect. Yeah. So my name is Rafael. 06:21.620 --> 06:27.120 I'm also one of the founders along with Mr. X at Bugos and Jeff Burwick of the crypto vigilante 06:27.120 --> 06:33.340 in the Vic. And we hold a conference every year, which is Anarcapulco in Mexico. This 06:33.340 --> 06:38.720 year we'll be hosting it in Puerto Vallarta. And we also have a conference in Liberland, 06:38.960 --> 06:47.160 which is right smack in the middle of Croatia and Serbia on the Danube. There's a little 06:47.160 --> 07:01.320 micro nation of which Justin Sun, the founder of Tron, I think Tron, right? He's the prime 07:01.320 --> 07:07.840 minister of this little micro nation now, which is pretty cool. So it's a bunch of Bitcoiners and 07:07.840 --> 07:14.060 Bitcoin OG is creating our own little country. So we host a year league festival there too called 07:14.060 --> 07:20.720 Liberpulco. So now, so we have Liberpulco and Anarcapulco in Mexico. Every year you guys 07:20.720 --> 07:29.040 are welcome to come hang out with us, meet us, focus on health and wellness, the markets. 07:29.040 --> 07:37.000 It's a full stack conference. So it's a very beautiful environment. So that's our goal is to 07:37.000 --> 07:43.860 educate people and to create environments where we can grow a community. That's really our goal 07:43.860 --> 07:49.120 here is to grow a community of individuals that are seeking freedom and are seeking 07:49.120 --> 07:55.300 freedom in their personal life and seeking freedom in the world we live in. So yeah, 07:55.300 --> 08:01.580 that's pretty much us in a nutshell. Okay, well listen, critical to freedom is privacy. 08:02.080 --> 08:07.160 And I just want to acknowledge there's somebody from the team from Pirate Chain here, 08:07.240 --> 08:13.480 which is a privacy crypto and also Zano are here and Zano and Pirate Chain have both been 08:13.480 --> 08:21.140 guests on previous X-paces. So hello to both of you. Now, why is privacy important? 08:23.260 --> 08:30.700 It's important for the same reason shelter is important. So if the concept of shelter 08:30.700 --> 08:37.680 is nothing, it's nothing more than a very natural concept found in all types of organisms. 08:40.680 --> 08:47.180 Okay, the notion of a bank. I'm going to push back against you. Okay, here, right? 08:47.180 --> 08:51.600 I'm just going to know this is for the sake of argument, not because I disagree with you. 08:52.860 --> 08:58.920 I'm big into Pirate Chain. I'm big into Sentinel and Zano, and I'm big into privacy generally. 09:00.020 --> 09:05.800 And Sentinel, by the way, have also been on this X-space. They offer a decentralized VPN, 09:05.960 --> 09:12.860 which is very, very important for privacy. But shelter protects me from the elements, 09:12.860 --> 09:20.000 the rain and the cold, and I need shelter because I don't have fur. But privacy? Seriously? 09:20.720 --> 09:23.180 Only criminals want privacy, Raphael. 09:26.000 --> 09:31.960 No, not really. I mean, everyone that wants to avoid any type of voyeurism in their private 09:31.960 --> 09:37.760 life is using privacy. You use privacy when you lock your home, right? Going back to the 09:37.760 --> 09:43.840 analogy of shelter, when you have curtains on your windows, you have privacy. 09:46.500 --> 09:57.420 Privacy really comes back to a very organic and the concept of a personhood, of interacting with 09:58.280 --> 10:05.800 each other as individuals. So where there is a direct connection. In other words, 10:05.800 --> 10:14.260 privacy gives you intimacy. Without privacy, you don't have intimacy. So you need privacy, 10:15.400 --> 10:23.300 not just to meet the lower needs of like Maslow of shelter, but you also need privacy 10:23.920 --> 10:29.120 for higher-end goods like the good of friendship, the good of intimacy. 10:30.080 --> 10:37.100 And when we talk about financial privacy, we're talking about respecting private property. 10:38.460 --> 10:45.780 And money, cash is nothing more than the most liquid good. That's what money is. And money 10:45.780 --> 10:53.620 is an asset type that makes you lucky in the environment because cash as money allows you, 10:53.620 --> 10:59.440 when you have cash readily available, it makes you luckier because you can take 10:59.440 --> 11:07.700 advantage of limited time offers in the economy that other people who are invested in assets that 11:07.700 --> 11:14.160 are not as liquid, they can't easily divest, let's say sell a home, sell a property, sell a car to 11:14.160 --> 11:21.840 get into a limited time offer. The guy holding cash places himself in a position of being more 11:21.840 --> 11:31.160 lucky. When you move in the market and you are in cash, when you're seeking cash, when you're in 11:31.160 --> 11:37.900 cash, you don't want to, you want to protect yourself from any type of financial voyeurism 11:37.900 --> 11:45.080 because the way you invest yourself in life and the way you manage a portfolio is that 11:45.080 --> 11:52.920 is in itself a type of intellectual property. So just like Coca-Cola is, you know, Covitz, 11:53.200 --> 12:00.480 the sacred recipe for Coca-Cola. In that same way, any portfolio manager from 12:01.600 --> 12:08.320 the biggest company to just the, you know, the resident down the street who owns, you know, 12:08.400 --> 12:14.200 who has a family portfolio, we don't want financial voyeurism. It's just a natural 12:14.200 --> 12:18.400 thing that you want to protect your private property. You want to protect your intellectual 12:18.400 --> 12:27.640 property. You want to protect your, yeah, you want to protect what you have. You don't want, 12:27.700 --> 12:34.860 you don't want to put yourself at the risk of any criminal, whether that criminal be a criminal, 12:35.340 --> 12:43.340 you know, in the everyday, you know, space, common criminal or a government, right? So you 12:43.340 --> 12:50.900 have to, you have to, it's no one is walking around with their social security on their forehead, 12:51.100 --> 12:56.960 right? No one is walking around with a bank account readily available to everyone 12:57.560 --> 13:02.780 to see how much you have in your bank accounts. So it's a natural thing. That's the way I see 13:02.780 --> 13:07.060 them. It's just natural. Yes. No, forgive me for interrupting because we're not on video, 13:07.060 --> 13:14.280 so you're not going to see me raise my hand, right? But you're pointing to something. So one, 13:14.400 --> 13:22.940 no one is going to post their password for their email account publicly. Then everybody knows your 13:22.940 --> 13:29.700 ins and outs of your business. You cannot have sovereignty without privacy. I belong to me. 13:30.260 --> 13:35.860 My thoughts are mine. My actions are mine. I'm responsible for them. I belong to me. 13:35.860 --> 13:41.200 And if I get into some sort of relationship or a conversation with you, with you Raphael, 13:41.240 --> 13:46.920 and we don't want it to be public, well, that conversation belongs to us, that transaction, 13:47.160 --> 13:53.160 even if it's the exchange of goods, because I'm going to use Pirate Chain or Zana or Monero to 13:53.850 --> 14:00.300 get into an exchange with you, which you and I are agreeing to as sovereign individuals. 14:00.300 --> 14:09.280 The other thing about privacy is you cannot have creativity without privacy. And as proof of that, 14:09.460 --> 14:16.620 just need to look at countries where people are heavily surveilled, like North Korea, like 14:16.620 --> 14:23.020 Soviet Union, and increasingly the UK and the European Union, because it kills innovation. 14:23.500 --> 14:27.800 For you and I, what we're going to do Raphael, you and I are going to meet 14:28.440 --> 14:33.460 privately to create something which we think is going to make a difference in some way, 14:33.920 --> 14:37.320 you know, some great business idea or some great cryptocurrency project. 14:37.640 --> 14:45.600 And we don't want the fruits of our discussion to be stolen or suppressed by others 14:46.580 --> 14:51.980 until we're ready to launch it publicly. And that could be the case if we're going 14:51.980 --> 14:56.840 to write a book or something or come up with a cryptocurrency project or a new business 14:56.840 --> 15:03.780 service, anything like that. You cannot cannot have sovereignty without privacy. 15:04.000 --> 15:10.240 You cannot have freedom without privacy, and you cannot have creativity without privacy. 15:11.040 --> 15:15.120 Totally agree. Hey guys, can you hear me now? Yeah, we can hear you. 15:15.880 --> 15:20.460 Okay, awesome. Sorry about that. I had some audio issues there. Sorry about that. 15:21.300 --> 15:26.500 Thank you for joining. Yeah, thank you for having me. Again, this is Mr. X of the Crypto 15:26.500 --> 15:34.300 Vigilante, one of the analysts and co-founder with Raphael Laverde. And yep, just wanted to 15:34.300 --> 15:40.360 join the conversation. Yeah, I totally agree, privacy is essential. And specifically, I guess 15:40.360 --> 15:44.580 if we go more specifically into the topic of privacy as it relates to blockchains, 15:46.940 --> 15:52.740 the important thing about privacy is that if transactions on a blockchain are private 15:52.740 --> 15:58.820 by default at the protocol level, then they cannot be censored. That also helps with the 15:58.820 --> 16:08.460 unsensorability or impossibility of censorship. And basically, miners could censor transactions 16:08.460 --> 16:14.180 if they are visible, right? So with Monero and Pirate Chain, for example, which are both 16:14.180 --> 16:21.620 fully private cryptocurrencies, miners cannot even see the contents of the sources, destinations, 16:21.920 --> 16:25.840 and amounts of the transactions, and therefore they cannot be censored by miners. 16:28.260 --> 16:35.840 Yes. Yes, no, thank you. Thank you. And I think what you're talking about, Mr. X, fits 16:35.840 --> 16:40.800 into what Raphael and I were talking about, about the importance of privacy in general, 16:42.120 --> 16:47.940 how critical that is, and that privacy cryptocurrencies, decentralized VPNs, 16:48.320 --> 16:53.600 other decentralized services like NIMS, decentralized Internet or Core Tools, 16:53.820 --> 16:58.920 decentralized Internet, offer us the opportunity of preserving our sovereignty, 16:58.920 --> 17:09.340 our freedom, our liberty by preserving our privacy. Okay. Why don't we go through some 17:09.340 --> 17:14.520 of the things that you think are, well, that are available in the blockchain space that you 17:14.520 --> 17:23.900 think are really, really great for privacy? Either of you. What category? I mean, we can 17:24.900 --> 17:30.720 let's talk about, here, Mr. X, how about we talk about Trocador, because I know you're a fan of 17:30.720 --> 17:34.420 Trocador. Let's talk about Trocador. I think that's something that a lot of people don't 17:34.420 --> 17:42.700 know about. It's a great way for people to trade crypto. Mr. X, if you could explain 17:42.700 --> 17:48.320 what Trocador means, that'd be great. Yeah, Trocador is a service that basically gets 17:48.320 --> 17:57.720 a swap aggregator, so it aggregates various crypto swap services. So there's a lot of 17:57.720 --> 18:02.880 instant swap exchanges that support many hundreds of different cryptocurrencies. 18:03.900 --> 18:09.600 But what Trocador.app is the website, trocador, T-R-O-C-A-D-O-R dot A-P-P. 18:10.460 --> 18:15.760 That website there basically connects to a lot of these swap services, and then they provide, 18:15.760 --> 18:24.100 Trocador provides a ranking system showing which of these services are more or less likely to 18:24.100 --> 18:31.540 perform KYC or know-your-customer requirements. Sometimes they will, if funds appear to be suspicious 18:31.540 --> 18:37.060 based on a blockchain analytics or other anti-money laundering types of checks that they run, 18:37.540 --> 18:42.060 then they could be more likely to be frozen. But then there's some providers that do not 18:42.940 --> 18:46.720 freeze people's funds or they at least give you the option if maybe they don't pass those 18:46.720 --> 18:52.540 AML checks, then they let you at least return your funds to you and they don't freeze them 18:52.540 --> 18:56.880 or seize them because there have been a lot of instances where people are trying to swap in 18:56.880 --> 19:01.980 or out of cryptocurrencies, especially privacy cryptocurrencies without having to provide all 19:01.980 --> 19:08.220 their personal identifying information. And then the funds end up getting frozen, 19:08.680 --> 19:15.280 sometimes at no fault of their own. Maybe they just, the wallet was in the past maybe connected to, 19:15.980 --> 19:18.980 could have been connected to something that they thought was suspicious or maybe just 19:20.120 --> 19:26.220 incorrectly identified as something illicit, but in some cases or maybe they even sent an 19:26.220 --> 19:31.540 amount that was too large. Some of these exchanges have a maximum amount they allow. 19:31.980 --> 19:35.440 So a lot of those things you can check with the ranking system. You can also 19:35.440 --> 19:43.300 know, Trocador actually fully ensures some of these swap exchanges trades up to a certain amount. 19:43.880 --> 19:50.640 So, and you can check to see that when you're preparing to make a swap between cryptocurrencies. 19:51.440 --> 19:57.660 So what I recommend doing is use Trocador, but just ensure right plugging in different amounts. 19:58.440 --> 20:02.140 Okay, thanks. If you hold it a second please, because I have some questions 20:02.140 --> 20:05.540 and I want to clarify what you're saying and make sure I understand because 20:05.540 --> 20:09.920 if I understand them, perhaps some of the listeners will understand. There are exchange 20:10.500 --> 20:16.280 aggregators like change-ally or change now or swap. Well, those are, those aren't aggregators, 20:16.420 --> 20:20.360 actually Trocador itself is the aggregator. So they're aggregating across change-ally and 20:20.360 --> 20:24.320 other swap providers. So those would be the individual swap providers like change-ally. 20:24.460 --> 20:28.420 Right. And actually we, and I was going to say change-ally, we do not recommend change-ally 20:28.420 --> 20:34.100 because they are actually known for freezing people's funds. So at least Manero and the Manero community 20:34.100 --> 20:40.880 at least. Yeah, thank you for that clarification. So they offer swap funds where you can just put in 20:40.880 --> 20:49.480 I want to exchange USDT for Bitcoin or Manero for USDT or something. And very simple means I 20:49.480 --> 20:53.740 don't have to go and sign up to an exchange. And then the risk that you're saying is that 20:53.740 --> 20:57.980 with some of them, in particular you mentioned change-ally is they will freeze the funds 20:57.980 --> 21:05.440 mid-transaction and they won't refund it either. Or some of them will say, okay, you need to do KYC 21:05.440 --> 21:12.100 before we release the funds. And what you're saying is Trocador, which is T-R-O-C-A-D-O-R 21:12.100 --> 21:20.900 dot app. Doesn't do that. Well, no, so Trocador, it helps you to pick a swap provider to help 21:20.900 --> 21:25.320 avoid having to do that. Correct. So the way you use Trocador properly is to 21:25.320 --> 21:30.180 look at their ranking system and read all of their FAQs, read all their terms, conditions, 21:30.320 --> 21:35.040 everything, and read all the directions there. And that will help you. If you follow them, 21:35.100 --> 21:39.560 that will help you to avoid having your funds frozen. And the way I recommend using it is to 21:39.560 --> 21:46.680 stay under that limit where Trocador has a insurance. Basically, some of them have a 21:47.220 --> 21:52.520 insurance on them where it will actually protect you. It's called the Trocador guarantee, 21:52.520 --> 21:57.780 actually. It's what it's called. So if you use it through there, they can actually 21:57.780 --> 22:04.080 ensure the funds as long as they fulfill the requirements. Right. Okay. That's really good. 22:04.240 --> 22:09.240 That's a very good service because it makes it convenient. And it means that we don't have to 22:10.540 --> 22:21.260 do KYC, which has all sorts of implications because who's holding that information? What are 22:21.260 --> 22:26.600 loss of sovereignty when somebody steals your identity? Okay. Yes. And one of the really cool 22:26.600 --> 22:32.260 things about it is that you can swap between privacy cryptos that otherwise they haven't built 22:32.860 --> 22:38.620 like atomic swaps for yet. So for example, you can actually swap between Monero and Pirate Chain 22:38.620 --> 22:46.140 directly from Trocador. And you can usually do a few thousand dollars worth at a time. 22:46.660 --> 22:54.720 I recommend, personally, I found that usually staying under $3,000 or so, two or $3,000 at once, 22:54.820 --> 23:00.140 you can usually do batches of transactions. So maybe if you're trying to move like a larger amount, 23:00.300 --> 23:06.020 like 20, 30, 40, $50,000 worth of crypto, if you break it into those smaller amounts, 23:06.140 --> 23:11.440 then it tends to be easier to do without getting your... And also while still having 23:11.440 --> 23:18.320 your funds insured and not getting the funds frozen either. Right. Right. And I can see I'm 23:18.320 --> 23:26.520 looking on trocador.app, T-R-O-C-A-D-O-R.app is they have a... So I've just put in a $1,000 23:27.380 --> 23:32.780 exchange of tether to Bitcoin. And then if I scroll down and people can try this out for 23:32.780 --> 23:37.920 themselves, it says, well, this is how much I will get from different exchanges. This is the 23:37.920 --> 23:46.200 spread, how long it will take, and there's a category for privacy. So this one scores D for 23:46.200 --> 23:52.880 privacy and this other one scores A for privacy. So I might have a preference for one or the other 23:52.880 --> 23:57.280 or might not be bothered. Okay. Well, that's great. I didn't know trocador did that. Thank you so 23:57.280 --> 24:02.460 much for that. Anything else on trocador? Well, actually, I wanted to mention there is another 24:02.460 --> 24:09.040 tool that I use as well called Orange Friend. So that is orange and then f-r-e-n dot com. So 24:09.040 --> 24:15.660 O-R-A-N-G-E-F-R-E-N dot com. Orange Friend. And they are actually they're more kind of 24:15.660 --> 24:20.440 like a trocador and Orange Friend. They're both pretty... They're definitely very privacy and 24:20.440 --> 24:27.300 no KYC focused. And they also rank some exchanges as well. And they also sometimes 24:27.300 --> 24:33.980 have provided additional... Yeah, I would actually... You could use them instead or alongside trocador. 24:35.380 --> 24:41.240 And for example, they actually show they have an Orange Friend guarantee up to certain amounts. So 24:41.240 --> 24:46.280 they have certain... They actually show which exchanges do never KYC. So they'll promise never, 24:46.280 --> 24:51.420 ever to do KYC, which is very helpful. And you can also see the amounts are guaranteed. 24:51.420 --> 24:57.360 For example, one of them is guaranteed... XOLIX is guaranteed up to $6,000 per trade 24:57.880 --> 25:03.880 and also never KYC. And also you can see the fees. So some people may be willing to pay extra fees 25:03.880 --> 25:09.460 and then not have any KYC and also do a larger amount. And then other ones, you might have... 25:09.460 --> 25:12.540 If you want to pay lower fees, you might have to try smaller amounts. 25:13.180 --> 25:18.600 So just using both of these tools together can be very helpful in maintaining your privacy 25:18.600 --> 25:25.680 and swapping between cryptocurrencies without revealing any of your personal information. 25:26.800 --> 25:31.700 Right, right. That's very good. I'm looking at Orange Friend. And I mean, 25:31.740 --> 25:37.300 listening to you, I'm thinking about what a loss trade ogre shutdown has been to the privacy 25:38.340 --> 25:43.840 community because they never asked KYC and they really specialized in a lot of privacy cryptos. 25:44.000 --> 25:47.900 And I don't think there's any exchange that has anything like the liquidity 25:48.400 --> 25:52.440 that trade ogre had and doesn't ask for KYC. 25:54.560 --> 26:00.700 Yes. Yeah, it is definitely... I 100% agree. A lot of us really enjoyed trade ogre, including myself. 26:01.920 --> 26:05.900 And yeah, it's definitely been a big loss. But I guess what I wanted to say here was 26:05.900 --> 26:11.720 that Trocador and Orange Friend definitely, I think are very helpful tools in kind of 26:11.720 --> 26:16.640 restoring some of the liquidity that's been lost because a lot of these 26:17.260 --> 26:20.720 exchange providers, they have access to deeper liquidity through other sources. 26:21.680 --> 26:30.960 So although it's not as easy to make, I guess, like on Trocador, for example, you could place bids, 26:31.720 --> 26:37.180 bid orders and sell orders, ask orders, and you were able to maybe get a better deal 26:37.960 --> 26:44.820 on certain coins, whether through buying or selling above or below the market price, right? 26:44.820 --> 26:52.100 So with these, it's just an instant swap. So you're not really able to place those orders at this price. 26:54.440 --> 27:00.240 Right. Okay. All right. And I just want to make a mention because they're going to be a future 27:00.240 --> 27:08.380 guest on this X-Base, which is pwld.net, Palladium. And because they had a lot of 27:09.020 --> 27:16.180 tokens, pwld, on trade ogre, and those are now frozen. And at one point, there was more trade 27:16.180 --> 27:21.140 happening with pwld than there was in Monero, which was the most heavily traded cryptocurrency on 27:21.140 --> 27:25.980 trade ogre. They're in communication with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and they are 27:25.980 --> 27:30.940 working with their own lawyers in the Czech Republic to recover funds. Now they're offering a 27:30.940 --> 27:39.860 service that if people go to pwld.net where people can join in that service, including cryptocurrency 27:40.480 --> 27:49.340 projects that had funds on trade ogre, that you can then piggyback with Palladium as they recover 27:49.340 --> 27:53.560 their funds through their lawyers. Now, if you only got a few hundred dollars, it's not going to 27:53.560 --> 27:58.680 be worth it. But if you got a thousand dollars or more, because the fees are kind of minimal 27:58.680 --> 28:02.400 as far as I can understand, then it may be worth your while to get in touch 28:03.540 --> 28:09.300 and use their lawyer services because that'll be a whole lot cheaper and easier than trying to do it 28:09.300 --> 28:14.240 yourself to recover from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. All right, just wanted to make mention 28:14.240 --> 28:23.560 of that. Okay, so that's trocador.app and also orangefriend.com. And when this goes out on my 28:23.560 --> 28:29.260 channels, I'll link to those in the description below. What's the next thing you want to let us know? 28:33.780 --> 28:41.780 Rafael, your signal, you're distorted. Like you're speaking through a fan or something. 28:42.760 --> 28:47.740 Yeah, Rafael, I think your connection is pretty low. You might have to go closer to the 28:48.620 --> 28:53.680 internet router or something. Is this better? Oh, yeah, that's better. That's better now. 28:54.500 --> 28:59.860 Okay, so it's good that we're talking about that we started the conversation on these topics 29:00.620 --> 29:06.180 because indeed the greatest mass surveillance and crypto comes forth from the centralized exchanges. 29:08.000 --> 29:15.440 So I think that another two other very good useful tools are cake wallet and edge wallet. 29:16.700 --> 29:25.160 Cake wallet has a lot more privacy features. Edge wallet has more accounting features. 29:26.900 --> 29:32.020 And edge wallet allows you, whenever you make a swap between cryptocurrency, 29:33.040 --> 29:41.220 to choose on the settings or to view directly what exchange is being used. 29:42.180 --> 29:48.680 You can choose that all exchanges happen, all swaps happen within edge wallet via 29:48.680 --> 29:55.420 decentralized exchanges, DEXs, not centralized exchanges, which is CEX. 29:56.020 --> 30:04.600 Yeah, that's the abbreviation. So make sure that you have good wallets. We recommend both the 30:04.600 --> 30:11.340 edge wallet and cake wallet as our preferred wallets for anyone new to crypto 30:12.200 --> 30:17.440 because they are so versatile, because they allow you to swap between different cryptocurrencies 30:17.840 --> 30:26.140 and because they they're privacy centric. Okay, now I know about edge wallet, 30:26.300 --> 30:31.040 they were also a guest on this X space. I don't know about cake wallet, never used it. 30:31.040 --> 30:38.000 Is that a mobile wallet? Or is it an extension wallet or a web browser wallet or all of them? 30:38.140 --> 30:45.680 It's an application. Yeah, cake wallet. The website is cakewallet.com, just cake. 30:46.260 --> 30:53.840 C-A-K-E wallet.com. And they are actually on multiple platforms. So they're on Android, 30:53.840 --> 30:59.000 they're on iOS. You can also run it on GrapheneOS, which is the most secure 31:00.560 --> 31:05.980 mobile operating system on a phone. They run on Pixel currently right now, but 31:06.940 --> 31:12.040 it's basically a fork of the Android open source project. But you also can run it, I believe, 31:12.340 --> 31:20.620 on Windows and Mac and Linux computers as well. So cakewall works across all platforms. 31:22.280 --> 31:25.940 Okay. And they're also open source and their privacy focus. 31:27.560 --> 31:33.120 Yes, and I think edge wallet is also open source and privacy focus. Now edge wallet has 31:33.120 --> 31:39.480 Pirate Chain and Zano and Monero and several other privacy cryptocurrencies. Does cake wallet 31:39.480 --> 31:45.680 have the same number of private cryptocurrency wallets? Yes, so cake wallet has Zano has Monero. 31:45.680 --> 31:52.400 They have not had a Pirate Chain yet, I don't think. I hope they will someday. But yeah, 31:52.440 --> 31:57.580 they haven't at this point. But they actually, for Monero, it's actually more private to use 31:57.580 --> 32:05.420 cakewall than edge wallet for Monero, at least because edge wallet uses a type of Monero 32:05.420 --> 32:12.760 light wallet server. It basically keeps a copy on the server end for edge wallet 32:12.760 --> 32:19.120 of your view key. So they actually have more insight into your transactions. So if edge wallet 32:19.120 --> 32:25.680 servers get hacked, then somebody could look into your wallets, some of the contents of your wallet 32:25.680 --> 32:32.800 there. But with cake wallet, it uses a native Monero node. So the Monero node cannot see, 32:32.880 --> 32:37.360 and they do not have a copy of your view key on the cake wallet. So actually, 32:37.360 --> 32:42.520 you could connect with cake wallet, you could connect to any Monero node, 32:42.700 --> 32:47.940 remote node anywhere if you want in addition to cake wallets servers. 32:48.800 --> 32:54.380 Great. Okay. Thank you so much for that. We now have a, we have a couple of exchanges, 32:55.580 --> 33:01.360 and we have a couple of wallets. What else should people use with regards to private, 33:01.620 --> 33:06.400 in order to preserve their privacy? So, you know, we actually just did a seminar 33:07.360 --> 33:13.480 on all of these topics that was like over 12 hours of education. 33:14.140 --> 33:15.060 Oh my gosh. 33:15.240 --> 33:17.440 Called the, yeah, the crypto vigilante. 33:17.580 --> 33:19.740 I think it was about 10 hours or so, 10 hours. 33:21.420 --> 33:26.140 And it's, we called, we titled it, What Matters Most in Crypto. 33:27.140 --> 33:30.740 Yeah, the website is TCVSummit.com. If you want to find out more about that, 33:30.760 --> 33:33.100 that's TCVSummit.com. 33:33.100 --> 33:35.620 Yeah. TCVSummit.com. Yep. 33:35.920 --> 33:40.620 Yeah. We also have a crypto workshop for anyone that is brand new, 33:40.740 --> 33:46.120 that is like six hours of education regarding everything you need to know in crypto to get 33:46.120 --> 33:49.740 you started with crypto. Mr. X, maybe you want to know about that? 33:49.740 --> 33:56.800 That website is, yeah, that website is TCVworkshop.com. So if you're typing TCV Workshop 33:56.800 --> 34:01.300 crypto basics. So basically what we, for that, yeah, like Rafael said, 34:01.300 --> 34:08.660 it's over six hours of content there. And we had all of our analysts team at the crypto vigilante 34:08.660 --> 34:13.820 went through the basics of crypto. So our analysts, Mr. Z, who's been in Monero also 34:13.820 --> 34:19.000 since near the beginning as well, he explains the background of crypto, 34:19.180 --> 34:22.880 also the background of Bitcoin, why crypto is important, and then of course, 34:22.880 --> 34:28.060 why privacy is important. He has a whole lecture on the crypto privacy revolution and why 34:28.980 --> 34:35.580 privacy is essential in crypto. And then we also have Rafael has a video with the founder of Edge 34:35.580 --> 34:42.120 Wall, Paul Kway, who explains how to set up a wallet and for newbies who may be completely new 34:42.120 --> 34:45.880 to crypto and don't know how to set up a wallet and how to exchange their funds to Monero and 34:45.880 --> 34:52.940 have privacy. And you could also, of course, exchange parachain or Zeno as well using the 34:52.940 --> 35:00.380 same process. Also our privacy operational security expert, Mr. P, explains the important 35:01.080 --> 35:07.760 basics of operational security and how to use technology properly to ensure that you actually 35:07.760 --> 35:13.380 do have privacy using cryptography and open source tools to help ensure that you do have that 35:13.380 --> 35:18.760 preserve your privacy like VPNs, other things like the Tor network, all these types of things. 35:19.240 --> 35:25.980 Then we have Mr. W and Mr. A, who are crypto market technicians, technical analysts, and they 35:25.980 --> 35:33.200 explain cryptocurrency markets, trading and analysis, how to look at a chart, how to use 35:33.200 --> 35:38.640 tools like CoinGecko, how to buy and sell cryptocurrencies using exchanges and the 35:38.640 --> 35:45.620 basics of that. And then we had a panel as well with Rafael, myself and Mr. A 35:46.200 --> 35:52.500 answering various questions at Q&A. Right, fabulous, fabulous. Okay. And people can link 35:52.500 --> 35:59.520 through all of those, I think, from CryptoVigilante.io. Yes. Those are great services that you 35:59.520 --> 36:03.460 offer. Okay. So what else do you want to let us know? Do you think it'd be useful for people 36:03.460 --> 36:09.460 to know? I think one thing that we don't talk much about but that we offer as part of the 36:09.460 --> 36:15.300 newsletter is that I know a lot of people, maybe the more advanced crowd would really 36:15.300 --> 36:23.960 get out of this, we have a ton of Linux tutorials from Mr. P on our monthly newsletter. 36:25.200 --> 36:32.420 And yeah, we've had tutorials on Fedora, tutorials on, what else have we done? 36:33.700 --> 36:41.100 I think we did, yeah, we pretty much have done them all. Yeah, Mr. P has done many 36:41.100 --> 36:45.740 deep dives, like if you read each of our monthly newsletters each month, very much for the last 36:45.740 --> 36:52.220 few years, actually, he's been writing very detailed tutorials, how do you like install Fedora, 36:53.020 --> 36:58.060 Workstation, Linux, and then how to customize it and how to upgrade its security, how to 36:58.480 --> 37:04.000 using virtual machines, all kinds of methods to protect your privacy and your security. 37:04.400 --> 37:06.780 Because of course, I mean, if you could have all this crypto, but if you don't have 37:06.780 --> 37:09.980 security, you could all be stolen very quickly. And actually, this happens a lot. 37:09.980 --> 37:14.980 So operational security is extremely important. That's really the how, how do you use crypto, 37:15.100 --> 37:20.160 how do you keep yourself safe, and also privacy? Okay, let me go back to Linux, 37:20.820 --> 37:27.080 because Linux doesn't have anywhere near the market share like Mac or Windows. I'm on a Mac right now. 37:27.660 --> 37:34.420 I think more people use Windows applications. For those who don't know, which includes 37:34.420 --> 37:40.820 myself, I'm not an expert in Linux at all. I'm not a coder. I'm not technically gifted in any way, 37:40.860 --> 37:45.800 really. Why Linux? What's the big deal about Linux? Why is that so important? 37:46.680 --> 37:50.660 Well, I mean, Linux is very important. It is tend to be more secure, but there's also, 37:50.760 --> 37:55.500 depending on how it's set up. Well, first of all, a lot of these big companies like you have 37:56.180 --> 38:00.960 Apple and Windows, both of them, they spy on their users. And especially the newer versions 38:00.960 --> 38:05.980 of these operating systems have increasingly added a lot of this telemetry or basically, 38:06.060 --> 38:11.740 where they phone home back to the corporate servers, and they send a lot of private data to them. 38:12.180 --> 38:19.560 And even Windows was known for the, I think the latest co-pilot was the AI feature they 38:19.560 --> 38:23.340 included to actually record your whole screen and takes pictures of it. So someone hacks 38:23.340 --> 38:27.000 in your computer, they can see, like, if you have your crypto on there, there's actually 38:27.000 --> 38:32.180 been examples of people where they have their crypto stolen because this new quote-unquote feature, 38:32.300 --> 38:36.440 which invades your privacy, actually takes pictures of your screen, including your wallet, 38:36.820 --> 38:41.560 seed phrases, and all those sort of things. And somebody that can get access to your computer 38:41.560 --> 38:47.140 can see that, even if you think it's secure. It's actually not, especially if you have those 38:47.140 --> 38:55.560 features enabled. So yeah, these are all important, very important things to be aware of. And 38:55.560 --> 39:03.900 in those, the operational security. Okay, now co-pilot. So co-pilot is an AI. And you're saying 39:03.900 --> 39:09.380 there have been reports of co-pilot taking screenshots. It's embedded in the Windows 39:09.380 --> 39:13.620 software, taking screenshots of what's on the screen. And then people using those screenshots, 39:14.060 --> 39:17.480 getting access to people's private keys, and then stealing the crypto. 39:18.080 --> 39:21.860 Now, you may not know this about me, Mr. X, because I don't think you and I have ever 39:21.860 --> 39:28.480 spoken before. I work as a child protection social worker. That's my job. And I've worked for 39:28.480 --> 39:35.460 two local authorities that use co-pilot for their social workers. So if I want to find out some 39:35.460 --> 39:40.280 information, I can tap and make a request of co-pilot. Now, the risk here, what you're saying 39:40.280 --> 39:44.280 is that it, you're not saying that it definitely happens, that it may be possible 39:44.820 --> 39:49.580 that through co-pilot, the information that I might have on screen about children and families 39:49.580 --> 39:56.200 and what's going on and what I'm investigating could be available to other people? 39:56.920 --> 40:00.940 Well, yeah, someone gets access to your computer. So what happens is co-pilot takes pictures of 40:00.940 --> 40:04.060 your screen and stores it in a certain folder. I know this was the case for a while. 40:04.340 --> 40:08.700 And then there was a lot of people that obviously had some frustration about it. So I think, 40:08.940 --> 40:14.700 I think if I'm not totally short, I have to double check the information. But I think it 40:14.700 --> 40:18.340 was enabled by default. And then I think because so many people were angry about it, 40:18.340 --> 40:21.580 think they may have disabled it, but I think the functionality is still there. 40:22.080 --> 40:26.600 So I'm not totally sure. Don't quote me on that. But I think that was the case. I'll have to double 40:26.600 --> 40:31.740 check. It's something that I'm going to run past the IT department where I work because, 40:31.900 --> 40:36.320 I mean, it's bad enough sharing, people losing their own private keys, but 40:36.720 --> 40:41.460 people finding out about abuse that's going on, that could be going on in a family and 40:41.460 --> 40:46.120 about children that have been vulnerable children that have been abused. It just 40:46.120 --> 40:52.460 goes to show that in this world that's been developing and growing for the last 10, 40:52.480 --> 40:57.760 20 years or so, ever since the internet, there's more and more going on than we actually know about. 40:58.920 --> 41:05.660 And that our sovereignty, our freedom, our liberty, our privacy is being 41:05.660 --> 41:10.440 compromised in ways we don't necessarily know. And of course, in the UK where I am, 41:10.440 --> 41:15.980 we're going to be blessed soon with digital IDs. Aren't we lucky? 41:21.360 --> 41:27.440 Rafael, your connection is rubbing again. 41:28.500 --> 41:36.080 Yeah. Okay. Well, we've got about 10 minutes left. Let's go through some of the 41:36.900 --> 41:41.880 privacy cryptos that you think are worth people taking a look at. 41:43.220 --> 41:47.460 And of course, you have to say Zano and Pirate Chain because they're both listening. 41:48.060 --> 41:55.180 Oh, yeah. We love Zano, Pirate Chain, Monero. And then, of course, actually, 41:55.180 --> 42:00.160 there's another one called Tari, which was created by one of the co-founders as Fluffy 42:00.160 --> 42:06.640 Pony, who is one of the earliest Monero developers. So, yeah, Tari, Pirate Chain, 42:07.020 --> 42:12.680 Monero, Zano, those are some of our top points that we like. Some of these other ones, 42:12.760 --> 42:17.160 I remember you mentioned Dash, but Dash, we never really liked Dash because, I mean, 42:17.180 --> 42:22.020 it's really not a privacy coin, not really a truly true privacy coin. And then, of course, 42:22.180 --> 42:27.660 also you mentioned Zcash, but Zcash, I believe 80, 90% of at least of their transactions 42:27.660 --> 42:33.180 are fully transparent using the T addresses. So, Pirate Chain, corrects that, is basically took 42:33.180 --> 42:41.820 the innovation of cryptography that Zcash created, but then they set it up so properly, 42:42.000 --> 42:47.860 really, so that all the transactions are private by default. And everything is enforced 42:47.860 --> 42:52.060 at the protocol level. So, only mining transactions when the coins are created, 42:52.060 --> 42:57.820 those, you can see that, but anything after that point, after the mining block rewards, 42:58.240 --> 43:05.020 everything after that is completely private. And the anonymity set of Pirate Chain right now 43:05.020 --> 43:14.000 is the largest in all of crypto. Yes. And just on the anonymity set, so that people understand, 43:14.340 --> 43:20.900 if you think of a haystack, and as the anonymity set, the larger the haystack, 43:20.900 --> 43:25.560 and you've got to find a particular transaction like a particular blade of straw, 43:25.960 --> 43:32.900 the harder it is to find that blade of straw. And Pirate Chain is the largest haystack of all 43:32.900 --> 43:38.260 the privacy cryptos. And every single transaction, like you said, apart from the first one where 43:38.260 --> 43:44.620 the coin is mined, and that's to make sure that the miners aren't producing extra Pirate Chain 43:44.620 --> 43:51.800 coins for their own benefit, all the other transactions are invisible and cannot be 43:51.800 --> 43:56.460 seen on the blockchain. So that's Pirate Chain. And then do you want to tell us a little bit 43:56.460 --> 44:04.080 about Zano and then Tari and then, of course, Monero? Zano, it has also one of the cool 44:04.080 --> 44:08.780 things about Zano is that it has the ability to create tokens that are private as well. 44:08.780 --> 44:13.640 And it uses similar technology that Monero uses with the ring signatures. 44:16.480 --> 44:21.680 Actually, there's even an algorithmic stablecoin called Freedom Dollar FUSD, 44:22.300 --> 44:25.460 which is on Zano, and that's also gaining some popularity as well. 44:28.520 --> 44:32.360 Anybody can basically create their own token on Zano, a private token. 44:33.680 --> 44:38.860 Yes, a private token that can't be seen and Freedom Dollar is a privacy 44:39.560 --> 44:44.660 focused stablecoin because in the UK, Raphael, Mr. Rex, I don't know if you know this, 44:44.940 --> 44:51.160 the Bank of England cares about the British people so much, it wants to keep us so safe 44:51.160 --> 44:57.760 from scams that they're considering putting limits on how much stablecoins that an individual 44:57.760 --> 45:06.440 can hold. They're talking about no more than $10,000 to $20,000 in stablecoins in order to 45:06.440 --> 45:11.860 look after us and keep us safe. But a privacy stablecoin like Freedom Dollar, 45:12.940 --> 45:17.600 there's no such limits. People can hold as much money as they want, 45:18.260 --> 45:20.980 perish the thought they should have that level of liberty. 45:21.700 --> 45:25.660 Well, and actually, you could do it even on normal stablecoins. You don't have to, 45:25.660 --> 45:30.660 use Freedom Dollar, and I would actually recommend diversifying because the thing is, 45:30.820 --> 45:35.240 Freedom Dollar is an algorithmic stablecoin, and remember what happened with Luna, 45:35.460 --> 45:41.460 that was an algorithmic stablecoin that completely crashed. So I'm not saying that 45:41.460 --> 45:45.460 that's for sure what will happen with Freedom Dollar, but it is something just to be aware of. 45:45.540 --> 45:54.620 But as far as ways to privately use stablecoins, if you're using Coin 45:54.620 --> 46:01.340 Control, which is basically the idea of keeping track of all of your crypto wallets and privacy in 46:01.340 --> 46:05.440 mind, basically thinking like a hacker whenever you're using your wallets in all the possible 46:05.440 --> 46:11.200 ways that they could be tracked or traced, I guess another option would be to use 46:11.200 --> 46:14.980 a privacy cryptocurrency like Monero that has good liquidity. And then you could 46:14.980 --> 46:23.120 anonymously swap into a brand new USDT wallet or USDC wallet on another blockchain using 46:23.120 --> 46:28.040 like Chocador or Orange Friend, like I talked about earlier. You could actually anonymously swap 46:28.800 --> 46:35.040 into some of your funds into stablecoins on those, using those platforms without having 46:35.040 --> 46:39.480 to provide any identification. And as long as those wallets don't become tainted or 46:39.480 --> 46:43.600 touched by any other wallets that could be connected to your real-world identity, 46:43.600 --> 46:46.600 then you could actually have some privacy that way as well. 46:47.660 --> 46:51.840 Yes, that's very important. The important point there is to diversify. 46:51.840 --> 46:57.380 Don't get stuck with one stablecoin, and then you can use Zano or Pirate Chain or Monero. I mean, 46:57.440 --> 47:03.320 Zano has a bridge that allows people to put dye, and you can put dye in Bitcoin and the 47:03.320 --> 47:08.840 eth on the Zano blockchain and it's invisible, but people got to check all these out for 47:08.840 --> 47:15.680 themselves and then work it out. Okay, now tell us about Monero or Tari. 47:16.760 --> 47:20.580 Well, yeah, Tari is also, I probably should have said a little bit more about Tari there. 47:21.140 --> 47:26.600 Tari also is, well, it's still in the very early stages of development, so Tari actually 47:26.600 --> 47:33.140 plans to add a Layer 2, which will actually have a lot of these smart contract features, tokens, 47:34.640 --> 47:38.740 apps, there's going to be, I think, like Tari apps actually will be on the Layer 2, 47:39.500 --> 47:46.420 which is pretty exciting. So, and like I said, it's all private at the base layer there, 47:46.420 --> 47:51.540 so that's going to be pretty cool to see what Tari will be building. And it just launched, 47:51.640 --> 47:57.540 actually, earlier this year, I believe, or within the last year or so. So, that's another 47:58.180 --> 48:02.200 point that I'm pretty excited about, and I think it's quite cheap at these levels as well. 48:03.260 --> 48:08.700 And then Monero is... Sorry, Mr. Egg, before we go into Monero, 48:09.020 --> 48:13.220 so what's so special about Tari? Well, yeah, Tari, like I said, it has 48:13.220 --> 48:16.780 the capacity, especially on the second layer, once they're building. Right now, 48:16.860 --> 48:25.160 it's running at the Layer 1, which uses a token called Minotari, or XTM Minotari, which is, you can 48:25.160 --> 48:31.000 mine, but then those coins, when they create the second layer, those coins will be burned, 48:31.060 --> 48:36.440 I think, at a one-to-one ratio for the second layer, which is going to be Tari itself, 48:36.700 --> 48:42.100 which will run all of the apps and the smart contracts and the Tari apps 48:42.100 --> 48:50.260 that will run on there. And actually, if you go to Tari.com, that's Tari.com, 48:51.120 --> 48:54.260 there's a ton of information you can find. Learn more about how it works. 48:54.820 --> 48:59.080 You can look at the tokenomics. Actually, if you go to that page, Tari.com, at the bottom, 48:59.460 --> 49:02.060 you can see the tokenomics, which explains how the two layers work, 49:02.740 --> 49:07.920 and how those tokens are burned at that ratio. And then the second layer, 49:08.780 --> 49:12.180 so the Layer 2 is called the Oodle, is what they call it, Tari Layer 2, 49:14.000 --> 49:19.380 and Tari, that second layer is going to be called XTR tokens, but that Layer 2 hasn't launched yet, 49:19.680 --> 49:24.160 so I think when that launches, that will be exciting to see all of the innovation that will 49:24.160 --> 49:31.620 happen there. Yeah, and I'm just looking on CoinGecko, Tari listed on CoinGecko on May 49:31.620 --> 49:34.980 22nd, 2025. Yeah, that's right, it was earlier this year. 49:36.580 --> 49:42.640 Yes, it is a very new cryptocurrency, and you can also mine it on your laptop. 49:43.020 --> 49:47.020 That's correct, yeah. Which also favors decentralization. Okay, so that's... 49:47.020 --> 49:51.460 Yeah, it's very decentralized, and it has multiple actual algorithms, so you can mine it. If you 49:51.460 --> 49:55.600 have a GPU, you can mine, because I believe the algorithm I have to double check, but I 49:55.600 --> 49:59.860 believe it splits into like three different types of miners. So you actually have every few 49:59.860 --> 50:08.100 block hashes or different algorithms, and it kind of rotates. So you can mine random X with the CPU, 50:08.500 --> 50:11.900 so basically it's the really cool thing about Tari, is that anybody can participate. 50:12.400 --> 50:14.700 So if you have a graphics card, you can mine with your graphics card, 50:14.700 --> 50:19.520 or if you have a really good CPU, or you can mine with both, so it's actually really cool. 50:21.360 --> 50:25.800 Great, okay, that's Tari, and then Monero. I haven't heard of Monero, 50:25.800 --> 50:31.260 what's that one about? Well, Monero is really the oldest real 50:31.260 --> 50:35.120 true privacy coin in my opinion. You had Dash before that, but it's not really a true 50:35.120 --> 50:41.100 privacy coin. But Monero does have pretty good, very good privacy actually, 50:41.460 --> 50:47.000 not quite as good technically, debatably as a pirating, but there's a lot more people 50:47.000 --> 50:53.160 in Monero. So in some ways, you could argue that Monero is maybe just as private in the 50:53.160 --> 50:56.820 sense, because there's a much larger group of people using it. So it does have a smaller 50:56.820 --> 51:02.560 anonymity set for each transaction, because it only uses ring size of 16, 51:02.840 --> 51:08.340 so and that protects the sender. So ring signatures protect the sender of a transaction 51:08.340 --> 51:14.920 Monero. So there's basically 15 decoys and one real transaction in a Monero transaction 51:15.820 --> 51:20.520 that protect the identity of the sender. And then the receiver is protected in Monero by 51:20.520 --> 51:25.540 something called stealth addresses. And those are uniquely generated, randomized 51:26.200 --> 51:30.740 addresses on the blockchain. So and you can't see who they're connected to. And then your 51:30.740 --> 51:37.280 Monero wallet address, if you were to copy and paste Monero wallet address into a blockchain 51:37.280 --> 51:43.160 explorer from Monero, you will not find it anywhere because because of the stealth addresses 51:43.160 --> 51:49.140 that are actually cryptographically generated within your wallet. So so you cannot see 51:49.140 --> 51:54.620 unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum or any other coins, you cannot see the balance of anyone's wallet 51:54.620 --> 52:00.260 on the blockchain unless you have something called a view key. So and the view key is 52:00.260 --> 52:03.960 voluntary would be voluntarily disclosed. And also I forgot to mention earlier that 52:03.960 --> 52:09.960 Pirate Chain also has the capability to voluntarily reveal transaction or wallet data 52:09.960 --> 52:14.740 with view keys as well. So and then of course, another technology for Monero 52:14.740 --> 52:20.820 currently that it uses to hide by the transaction amounts is called Ring Confidential Transactions 52:20.820 --> 52:28.500 or Ring CT. Okay, and the advantage of Monero is that it has it's so well established 52:29.200 --> 52:34.440 and it has so much liquidity. And everybody knows about it. And it is worth investigating 52:34.440 --> 52:41.740 as is Pirate Chain, Zano, Taro, Tari and other privacy crypto currencies. And of 52:41.740 --> 52:51.360 course, the applications that you mentioned, Trocadero, Cake Wallet X and OrangeFriend.com 52:51.360 --> 53:00.040 and of course CryptoVigilante.io Raphael and Mr. Rex. Any last words you want to say before we 53:00.040 --> 53:03.860 finish up? Well, yeah, I would say real quick about what the last thing you said there 53:03.860 --> 53:07.220 with Monero everyone knowing about it. I would actually argue that privacy coins in 53:07.220 --> 53:10.640 general I think are extremely undervalued. The market in general, the crypto market 53:10.640 --> 53:15.840 especially is not really very aware of these like a lot of people, especially the newbies getting in. 53:15.900 --> 53:20.460 Most people just buy a few random cryptocurrencies on Coinbase and they think, oh, yeah, I have crypto 53:20.460 --> 53:26.800 and they assume they may have heard incorrect news articles that say, oh, Bitcoin is an anonymous 53:26.800 --> 53:32.720 cryptocurrency, but that's totally not the case. It is not private. So so I think, yeah, 53:32.840 --> 53:37.540 these crypto currencies in general, I think Monero, Pirate Chain, Zano, a lot of these 53:37.540 --> 53:40.980 other ones, most people have never heard of them. Most people do not know about them yet 53:41.560 --> 53:47.000 and I think people who are getting into these cryptos early and start using them 53:47.000 --> 53:53.580 are going to be rewarded in the future because this is a very early space and I think 53:54.240 --> 53:58.420 we're really on the cutting edge of it. So that's kind of, I guess my last words there 53:58.940 --> 54:03.960 in regards to the private privacy coins. Absolutely and I agree with you. I think 54:03.960 --> 54:10.240 as certainly in the in the UK and Europe, as governments get more and more authoritarian 54:10.990 --> 54:18.800 with their CBDCs and their digital IDs and censorship and increasing surveillance 54:20.580 --> 54:25.900 and alongside the decay in the value of the fear 54:27.120 --> 54:33.220 shitcoins like the euro and the pound, privacy cryptos are going to become more and more 54:33.220 --> 54:37.920 important because like I said at the beginning, without privacy, there is no sovereignty, 54:38.080 --> 54:42.100 without privacy, there is no freedom, without privacy, there is no creativity. 54:42.920 --> 54:48.620 So we're going to do what we can to preserve our privacy. So Mr. X and the crypto vigilante, 54:48.840 --> 54:54.120 thank you so much crypto vigilante.io, thecoinrepublic.com. Thank you for them 54:54.120 --> 54:59.640 to for hosting this and I look forward to speaking to you all at some point soon. 54:59.800 --> 55:05.220 I do these once a week. So the next one is scheduled for next Saturday, five o'clock UK time. 55:05.540 --> 55:11.480 This is crypto rich signing out. Now we are dealing with a possible world war. 55:11.640 --> 55:17.080 Some will say we are already in a world war. My condolences and prayers go out to everyone 55:17.080 --> 55:22.140 suffering under tyranny. It really sucks. I'm really sorry, but it seems as if people 55:22.140 --> 55:27.160 are starting to wake up regarding crypto more and more each day. And so it's in the description 55:27.160 --> 55:32.380 right here to read where we give our secret sauce and what we teach our subscribers because 55:32.380 --> 55:37.000 things are just that bad. You know, everyone needs this information. People need to know about 55:37.000 --> 55:43.540 sound cryptocurrencies that are actually private by default and to know how to properly use crypto.
