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 — a... more

    Hi,

    Please kindly help since I am beginner where my wallet was hacked.

  • Brilliant

    I really enjoyed the episode where Anatoly talks with Kevin Rose about the NFT craze, the dynamic art and encrypting mystery over time, and Blockchain - how will this impact NFTs in art and games.

  • Actual useful information

    Amongst all the useless, hype driven podcasts on crypto, this podcast has actual useful information. It is a great deep dive into the community building in Solana and a look into Anatoly’s world. I wish every layer 1 chain had something like this. I would 100% recommend adding this to your listening list!

  • 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.
