TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Michael Fitzergald AKA Stoic.XMR. Stoic is a former Bitcoin maxi turned Monero purist and the author of an upcoming book, The Monero Standard.
I’m surprised Monero isn’t part of the new mainstream rightist thinking. For all they go on about Freedom of Speech, deplatforming, debanking, social credit scores and ESG, you’d think they’d all be heavily advocating for Monero.
Lack of technical competency, I guess?
Same for any leftist that cares about the working class. But for some reason stable money as a benefit to the working class has been completely poisoned as a concept on the left.
I always get angry comments about how that is stupid it was tax cuts or something, not the money printer and interest rate manipulation. Probably because libertarians are saying stable money good, so it must be bad, I guess?
I think it is breaking through slowly. Blockchain is so different to anything that it really takes some deep understanding to realize what is even going on. Then on top of that you have Monero.
Most people still have no clue what Bitcoin is, they are still a decade off on Monero.
Honestly if only the new media would understand and advocate for it, people would quickly come around. If Rogan or TYT talked about it regularly, people would quickly get it.
I do not think the dominant “new” media is interested in topics of real freedom and sovereignty. It is just a re-brand of the old media with an edgy twist.
Unfortunately something like Monero will have to rise mostly by word of mouth.
