Deki, who recently presented on this topic at MoneroKon, outlines Rand’s key philosophical pillars—objective reality, reason, rational self-interest, free market capitalism, and privacy—and argues that these values closely align with the principles behind decentralized crypto. The two explore Rand’s likely support for privacy-focused coins like Monero over state-aligned cryptocurrencies, discuss her novels Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, and reflect on how philosophical literacy can guide resistance to government overreach. The conversation also touches on current political events, Bitcoin’s co-optation, and the difficulty of waking people up to freedom-focused ideas in an age of convenience. TIMESTAMPS: Coming soon!

They delve into its technical design, how it compares to Bitcoin’s Lightning Network, and its potential to streamline Monero transactions by enabling off-chain payments without routing complexities. Sean shares insights from MoneroKon, discusses Monero’s resilience despite theoretical attack vectors, and explains how Grease aligns with upcoming upgrades like Full Chain Membership Proofs (FCMP++). He also touches on real-world use cases, wallet integration, and Grease’s flexible, decentralized approach aimed at boosting Monero’s usability and innovation. TIMESTAMPS: Coming soon!
