💸 Private money meets private internet — Community call #2626 with Joël Valenzuela (Dash)

Could you live on crypto alone?

Joël Valenzuela has, for about ten years now: paid only in crypto since 2015, no bank account since 2016. A lot of that has run on Dash, a privacy-focused digital cash coin built for fast, everyday payments. He’s dropping in to talk about life off the banking grid, the state of private money, and whatever else comes up.

And yes, $DASH is already a way to pay for NymVPN!

Oh, well… just another alt coin, probably nobody needs for real world applications, like purchasing things with Bitcoin worldwide. Why is Nym doing that?

Develope a Bitcoin Mixer (or a $NYM Mixer) tailored for Nym users and all is good.

I don’t think pushing privacy coins is a bad thing, why have to jump through hoops and have worse privacy with mixers, compared to let’s say Monero? It was unfortunate we started off with transparent blockchains in the first place, ideally private should have been the default. Personally not a great fan of DASH, but competition and supporting alternatives isn’t bad.
