TODAY'S SHOW: This episode of Monero Talk features Reuben Yap discussing the growth and direction of Firo as a privacy-focused cryptocurrency, alongside broader developments in the privacy ecosystem such as AnonBazaar.

Reuben explains Firo’s evolution, including its approach to privacy technology, decentralization, and usability, while addressing the challenges of maintaining strong privacy guarantees in a changing regulatory and technical landscape.

The conversation also touches on real-world use cases, adoption hurdles, and the importance of building privacy-preserving marketplaces and tools that go beyond speculation. The episode offers a look at how projects like Firo and AnonBazaar make financial privacy more practical and censorship resistant.
