Also, Monerotopia is once a week. I think there is room for someone to do another podcast, maybe not entirely dedicated to Monero, but something that is themed on privacy, yet rarely let's an episode pass when he/she does not mention Monero. Speaking of SHE. Where are all the WOMEN standing up for private digital cash? Is there something in their DNA that screams "I want to be your slave"? Oh, no, wait that must have come from last nights dream. Seriously though, why aren't more women speaking out about freedom. There's Mel K, Ann Vandersteel, and Sarah Westall, and Whitney Webb. all truth tellers, but never mention Monero. I personally would like to see Ann Vandersteel on an interview discussing Monero.
In my MoneroKon talk this weekend I will be analyzing data on cryptocurrency investment and use as payment: https://cfp.monerokon.org/2024/talk/NVF8ZN/ According to EU and US data, men definitely get more involved in cryptocurrency, but the gender divide is more lopsided in investment activities than payment activities. In other words, women are less likely to use cryptocurrency as a means of payment than men, but they are much less like to buy cryptocurrency as an investment than men.
You could interpret that as "the way to get women interested in peer-to-peer electronic cash is to focus on it as a means of payment instead of as an investment." Or the opposite: "Women investing in cryptocurrency is a relatively unexplored market segment!" Anything else you want analyzed, you have about 12 hours to ask before I finalize the analysis.
do you give the talk remotely via type-to-talk audio? I think you should find a different voice than the one used on MoneroTalk which is really hard to listen to. I know there's few open source ones, let me know if you find any good ones. The default linux one in the package manger is horrible
Yes it will be text-to-speech again. I will try another voice. Thanks for the feedback.
for FOSS: https://github.com/voicepaw/so-vits-svc-fork alternatively https://elevenlabs.io/
The first one isn't text to speech and the second is not FOSS. If you have a good FOSS TTS that has examples of what the voices sound like, I would like to be linked to it :)
Oh right, sorry. You need a whole damn lab setup that combines the Foss one with another Foss tts. Tutorial, shouldn't take too much compute, the more tricky part is getting the right voice model. I'd recommend a gawr gura one ;)
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
