  • Chatting with Drew Simon

    I’ve done over a dozen podcasts and sat on countless panels, and my conversation with Drew stands out. He’s warm, thoughtful, and deeply knowledgeable, our discussion felt far more authentic than the typical rigid, overly produced shows. More importantly, he’s spotlighting important work across Web3 that often flies under the radar, projects focused on real impact, not just Lambos, trading bots, or hype.

  • A Different Side of Crypto

    Usually, if you search for podcasts around crypto and blockchain, token prices or infrastructure talk dominates. Not with Crypto Altruists. You actually learn about a different side of crypto and the good blockchain already does in the world. It’s great to see a diverse set of founders and builders in general that talk about their project, real-world use cases and impact, as well as where the future for crypto is headed. Great stuff!
