Today’s Video Briefing covers Monero, a cryptic little currency whose name has become a synonym for “secrecy.” You won’t find any rich lists or chain analytics for Monero- that’s because everything about it is hidden, from the size of your transaction to the address you’re sending it to. Those qualities have made Monero a favorite medium for clandestine transactions- and a favorite target for nosy regulators.
