John McAfee was early af on the privacy narrative. “Monero is the only goddamn currency that’s used. Nobody uses bitcoin, people trade bitcoin.” “Everybody knows that people are eventually going to catch up and catch on and go ‘oh fuck me, bitcoin’s worthless.’” “It’s slow, expensive, with zero privacy.”...

“Bitcoin goes to 0” John McAfee claimed people only trade BTC, but no one uses it. To have value a crypto needs to be used. Is Bitcoin the next reserve currency or a worthless fad that fades in the era of utility?

Threadguy explains why privacy is a trillion dollar opportunity “I think privacy is the most underpriced market in the world. It’s only a $15–20B marketcap, and it should be trillions. The problem is the vehicle. Is it Monero or Zcash? Some new thing that doesn’t exist yet?” “I think privacy is going to trade as a proxy beta Bitcoin trade. It’s just going to be a boring, slow trade. It isn’t really that exciting until it becomes the most important thing in the world”

VanEck CEO Jan van Eck on CNBC: “There’s something else going on within the Bitcoin community that non-crypto people need to know about. And that is: ultimately, VanEck has been around before Bitcoin. We will walk away from Bitcoin if we think the thesis is fundamentally broken. We don’t right now, but you always have to look at the underlying technology and the crypto. What the Bitcoin community has been asking itself is: Is there enough encryption in Bitcoin, because quantum computing is coming? And secondly: Is there enough privacy in Bitcoin? And so a lot of Bitcoin OGs or maxis have been looking at Zcash. Zcash is a token. It’s sort of related to Bitcoin with a lot more privacy. The kind of garbage that we got about Bitcoin four years ago was: ‘It’s used for all bad illicit behavior.’ But now everyone kind of realizes that when you move money around on the Bitcoin blockchain, you can see it. You can see it move from one wallet to another. And a lot of people are looking for more privacy.”

Ep. 10 Free The Money | As Cash Disappears: Why Monero Succeeds Where Bitcoin Fails In this episode I’m joined by Douglas Tuman, founder of MoneroTopia and host of Monero Talk Live, to explore why Monero is not only the ultimate privacy coin, but a foundational tool for freedom in the digital age. Doug explains how Monero was built to fix Bitcoin’s core flaws. Bitcoin’s public ledger allows for the tracking of transactions and balances, while Monero encrypts the sender, receiver, and amount by default. Monero’s privacy makes Monero fully fungible, meaning every coin is identical, untraceable, and cannot be tainted or blacklisted, something Bitcoin can never achieve. Doug breaks down why Monero is more decentralized at the mining level, using ASIC-resistant proof-of-work that allows everyday CPUs to secure the network, preventing control by large industrial mining operations and state pressure unlike Bitcoin. This makes Monero harder to censor and more resilient long-term. This episode tackles the controversial topic head-on: Monero’s use on dark markets. Rather than being a weakness, it’s evidence that Monero is the most private and effective digital cash available, just as cash and encryption have always been neutral tools used by both good and bad actors. At a deeper level, this conversation is about freedom. Cash is being eliminated. Privacy is necessary to prevent governments from wielding excessive power over individuals.

Threadguy explains why ZEC is one of the only attractive crypto asset to him right now “It's marketcap is only $8B, it's pennies. It's shown the ability to pump like no other" "It has the institutional love, people are doing the DATs, the Winklevoss twins are coming in. It has this privacy narrative, which I think is giga undervalued, and it is the antithesis of the Bitcoin narrative” “I’m in the business of narratives and trading charts. The narrative says it’s quantum resistant and it’s everything Bitcoin is not. I look at the chart and it looks like this is a once-in-a-year setup”

"With Monero, you're trying to hide amongst a bunch of fake transactions" Multicoin co-founder Tushar Jain on why Monero's privacy model is more at risk from AI than Zcash's "The Monero comparison is interesting, but Monero doesn't provide the same level of privacy guarantees that Zcash does." "Monero uses ring signatures, which is a type of obfuscation of privacy, whereas Zcash uses zero knowledge proofs. So the information on Zcash is just not even out there, it is not visible to the public." "I believe that as AI powered data analysis tools get more powerful, it puts that privacy model more at risk, and that is problematic."

.Barry Silbert: “Generally speaking, I think the world is better off with privacy and financial privacy. And in the same way that a bad person may use a credit card or an iPhone device or cash to do bad things. I don’t think that that’s a reason to curtail the use of cryptocurrencies or privacy focused cryptocurrencies like Zcash. And it’s funny, in the early days of Bitcoin when we had conversations with people in the intelligence community, they actually said to us, ‘Please help Bitcoin grow in usage and adoption because we get to trace the movement of the money around the blockchain. We would much rather see bad people use Bitcoin than use cash.’”

MONERO QUIETLY EXPANDED ITS ANONYMITY SET FROM 16 TO 150 MILLION Monero (Monero (XMR)) activated the FCMP++ and CARROT beta stressnet on May 6 at block 2,997,100. The upgrade replaces ring signatures with full-chain membership proofs, jumping the anonymity set from 16 decoys to over 150M outputs across the entire blockchain history. Core developers call it the most important privacy advance since RingCT. Trail of Bits begins its audit May 11 through May 22. Charles Hoskinson posted public praise the same day, and $XMR is up roughly 7% on the week while the privacy-coin trade keeps drawing institutional capital.

Former BlackRock fund manager Ed Dowd: "The metals are telling you that there's uncertainty out there and a lack of trust... [and] that gold and silver are going to be part of the new monetary system... [so] gold and silver are the trade and not Bitcoin so much." This clip of Dowd (Edward Dowd), who is also the founder of Phinance Technologies, is taken from a discussion with Michael Farris (Michael Farris) posted to YouTube on January 13, 2026. ---------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "The metals are telling you that there's uncertainty out there and a lack of trust. I think the big, the moves in gold and silver are really discounting a lack of trust and fear of what is coming and what it's going to look like. And, and also it's also telling you that gold and silver are going to be part of the new monetary system. "And Bitcoin, interestingly enough, has stalled out. It's down 20% since October, the high in October and Bitcoin is barely up today. So, you know, there was always this thesis around Bitcoin that when when there's a new monetary system comes, it's going to, it's going to be protection against, you know, any of that kind of uncertainty. It's increasing. It's becoming increasingly obvious to me that gold and silver are the trade and not Bitcoin so much. "And Bitcoin, unfortunately, is very highly correlated to the Nasdaq and it's disconnected from the Nasdaq. The Nasdaq and Bitcoin have disconnected temporarily. Generally speaking, they're highly correlated. So what does that say? Does that say Nasdaq is going to catch up down to Bitcoin or is Bitcoin going to rally back up? I think that the Nasdaq is going to go down to bitcoin. So that's where we are."

🚨 This is the most important macro + Bitcoin clip you’ll watch today. Tom Luongo just went on Simply Bitcoin and laid out how gold, silver, and copper have been suppressed for decades through paper markets — and why that entire system is now breaking in real time. That’s why commodities are going parabolic. And why Bitcoin is going to go on a historic run in the future. Davos just lost control of the narrative.

So, does it matter that Bitcoin seems to be moving away from its cypherpunk roots? Bitcoin ETFs and Bitcoin Treasuries have taken BTC mainstream. So I asked Saifedean Ammous this very question. His answer might surprise you... 👀👇 "If you have very strong feelings about how people should and shouldn't use Bitcoin, you're in for a rough time." "To be honest, a lot of people project too much onto Bitcoin. Ultimately, it's just a bunch of software and anybody can use it in any way they want. Initially, it's a small subset of people that use it and then they start projecting their values onto it. And then over time, they expect it to continue to abide by that," Ammous said. "If it's a successful technology, it's going to be used by everybody. It's going to be used by small businesses, large businesses, governments, individuals. It's money. Everybody uses money. There are 8.5 billion people on Earth, they all use money and they're all going to continue to use money. And Bitcoin is just the best money." Ultimately, the protocol itself is immune to the financial instruments that TradFi has concocted. If people want to lend against their BTC or create complex financial products, that does not actually impact the underlying network. "The way that the protocol works is that it's completely blind to what you're doing with your coins on the Bitcoin blockchain there is no paper Bitcoin there's no such thing as paper Bitcoin there's only 21 million Bitcoin and every node makes sure of that every 10 minutes and then if somebody who has some of these Bitcoin on their private key decides to sell obligations or financial liabilities referring to that Bitcoin under any condition, that's their choice. It's outside of Bitcoin and it's outside of the realm of other Bitcoin users being able to say this is right or wrong and this should happen or shouldn't happen. People are going to do whatever they want with the Bitcoin, including selling access to it or exposure to it in all kinds of different ways. And if you don't like it, you don't buy it, you can stack your own Bitcoin." You can find the full interview for Cointelegraph in the 🧵.
