[ANN] MoneroTalk #339: Monero’s Place in Policy & Regulation in 2025
This episode is a recording of an X Spaces discussion with Douglas Tuman, John Bush, Stoic.XMR, BawdyAnarchist, and others about whether or not the Monero community should engage in political activism to push for pro-privacy, pro-Monero policies in the U.S. The participants debated the merits of lobbying for regulatory clarity versus focusing purely on grassroots, opt-out strategies that avoid government intervention altogether.
