When it comes to blockchain, the thing people talk about most — the price — is actually the least interesting part. Crypto conversations are too often about who’s up and who’s down, what to buy and what to sell, and today’s drama on Twitter. Most conversations about crypto miss how it’s going to change ... everything.On VALIDATED, we’ll be talking to the people who are rethinking the internet — and our world. No hype cycles. No financial advice. Just conversations on the biggest ideas shaping the future of the internet. Web3 is complicated, but never boring.

    One of my favorite blockchain podcasts
    Has more depth than a lot of crypto podcasts out there. Whether you follow Solana chain or not, this is a good one to increase your industry perspective and get smarter.
  • will.bao
    Good podcast but could use some work
    It’s a good podcast due to the founder having access to amazing guests. But questions are often not very insightful and worse can seem uninformed. Not quite sure how much Anatoly actually researches on his guests beforehand, but it doesn’t seem like it’s a lot. However, it’s nice to hear the thoughts of the Solana founder through various topics, just wish it’s more polished.
  • Semsin689
    Came for Solana. Stayed for Anatoly.
    So awesome to get a peek inside this guy’s brain every episode. More technically and philosophically interesting than most other blockchain podcasts out there.
  • Bib1234632
    Best blockchain podcast
    The Solana Podcast is emerging as one of the best blockchain and technology podcast online.
  • stephena
    Amazing series on blockchain.
    Even you if you don't know about Solana, this witty series on blockchain will blow your mind.
  • Frank Castiglioni
    Top 5 crypto podcast for sure
    It's kind of amazing how in-depth they get on topics from computer science problems to law to governance. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this podcast through 2020, they've already started getting some heavy hitters on there. Anatoly's great to listen to, seems like a genuinely intellectually curious guy and he's blindingly smart. Worth a listen!
