Privacy, Property, Liberty and the #Monero Policy Workgroup - Andrea Togni EPI 233
Channel: Monero Talk
Date: 2022-09-03

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Andre Togni.
Andrea is a philosophy and history teacher by day, Monero Policy Workgroup member by night.

The two discuss Andrea's involvement with the Monero Policy Workgroup, why privacy is a necessary condition for the defense and even for the existence of property rights, how governments monopolize trust through education, what the U.S. Treasury's press release on the TornadoCash ban means for the Monero community and much more!
