Speaker 0: Let's talk about the most decentralized cryptocurrency that we have in the crypto space today called Monero. Monero launched in April of twenty fourteen by an anonymous developer using the pseudonym Thankful for Today. Monero claims to be a secure, private, and untraceable currency that keeps your money confidential, and it has been one of the most talked about cryptocurrency projects that I've seen here in 2025. At the time of recording this video, 05/07/2025, Monero is the twenty fourth ranked cryptocurrency project in the world, is trading at $285 per token and has a market cap of $5,260,000,000. Now Monero and pretty much all privacy coins have faced their fair share of controversy in the past couple years as the buying and selling of Monero has been banned in numerous countries.
And we've even seen IRS here in The United States offer a $625,000 bounty if you are able to crack Monero. But just last month, we saw a massive statement from the US Justice Department as they announced that the US Justice Department is no longer focusing on regulatory enforcement against virtual currency exchanges, mixing services, and offline wallets for their users' actions or unintentional violations. And although this executive order didn't specifically mention Monero, we can assume that it will have a positive impact on the project especially when it comes to how they're being treated here in America. Now this executive action came under pro crypto president Donald Trump, but since he released this back in April, we've actually seen more countries crack down harder on Monero. On May 2, we saw that the EU was set to ban anonymous cryptocurrency and privacy tokens by 2027.
And you could see here there is a long list of massive countries that have taken regulatory action against Monero. South Korea has banned trading of Monero. Japan has imposed restrictions. And Australia, The UAE, and Dubai have all specifically banned Monero and other tokens like Zcash. Now the main reason that people love Monero is because it is truly a decentralized cryptocurrency project.
This means that you are truly your own bank and no one in the world, no one in the Monero network has the access to blacklist any wallets or stop you from transferring your Monero how you see fit. Monero is able to remain an anonymous cryptocurrency for its users because it uses advanced cryptographic techniques like ring signatures, stealth addresses, and confidential transactions to keep transaction private. And I know a lot of people like this because that is essentially why all of us got into cryptocurrency. We like the decentralized nature of crypto, and the sad truth is is that most cryptocurrencies are not actually decentralized. They are centralized to some extent.
Now there is one gentleman that I follow and respect in the crypto space who has been bull posting Monero for quite some time, and that is Crashus Clay. He goes on to make a post saying that Monero will hit a trillion plus dollar market cap within our lifetime, currently around $5,000,000,000 today. And then in another tweet, he goes on to talk about Monero by saying, Monero has been getting banned all around the world, delisted from top exchanges, and still has held up better than 99.99% of coins. He goes on to say, the first uncensorable digital money the world has ever had is the most unstoppable money ever. Store some wealth in it even if it's just point 1% of your net worth.
How can you know about the first uncensorable digital money at this scale we have ever had and not own some? And this is an interesting tweet here CryptoNator that I wanna share with all of you guys. He says, I missed Bitcoin at $1 to $800 besides knowing about it since the very beginning. I missed Ethereum besides reading the white paper while their ICO was up and running. I almost missed Monero too, but I'm glad that I found a way.
Learn about Monero now or if you won't do it, have fun regretting it in five years. It's up to you. And I think that's a very interesting tweet for a number of reasons. I think a lot of us were scared away from the political pressure when the US government and all the governments around the world were going after mixing companies, different centralized exchanges, and also privacy coins. And now that the US government has announced that they're no longer gonna be focused on going after these crypto platforms, I personally believe that Monero has become a lot more appealing for a ton of crypto investors in this space.
