A thorough critique of Monero with Giacomo Zucco and Seth for Privacy (Part 1 of 3) EPI #215
Channel: Monero Talk
Date: 2022-07-10

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman sits down with two powerhouse guests. Giacomo Zucco, a Bitcoin OG known for his strong technical understanding of Bitcoin and his belief that all other cryptos will eventually trend to zero against Bitcoin and Seth for Privacy, a privacy and Monero tech expert.

Giacomo laid out his criticism of Monero and allowed Seth and Doug to thoroughly respond to each point. The fact is, most of these things have been covered in one form or another on Monero Talk already. But this was an epic, thorough overview. So much that so we had to break this one into three episodes. Listen close, a lot is covered!
