Lex, thanks for episode once again. Especially these days. Much love from Holland!
Many thanks for this
Love this project, ALGO ALL DAY ALL NIGHT
Not figure it out keeps us going as long we keep seeking
Happy 1M sub.
This guy is 66 years old and still has sharper mind than most of the 20s years old ppl out there. Bought Algorand based on my reading of how good the project is but after hearing the guy behind it i am absolutely bullish with algo now.
Seeing how they handled previous dips, you know this guy ain't about to rug pull, and just as a user. The speed of transactions/fees, are so good, I'd love to see mass adoption for Algo in the defi space.
@@bearwolffish well said, the speed and the fees plus the technology behind it is just an absolute win. I am leaning more and more towards algo.
damn he looks much younger
@@NarutoUzumaki-qu2ob a lot of money can slow aging trust me.
Most people are still smart in their 60’s lol
Lex, please start asking for book recommendations again.
I find them super useful for further knowledge.
Yes, please!
WORRRD!
They were super useful, Lex.
1:39:22
.. Oh that's a fake Lex in the comments btw. Look out for the scammers.
Yes!
This is by far the best interview with Silvio. Such a like-able genius.
Yet another talk that gets exponentially more exciting as time passes.
That’s the art of the artist. Lex does art.
@@chrivison I agree! 🙂
The ideas are real great too though. Real good.
Good observation, I think that’s a pattern I can agree with. All of the talks have a gradual flow where it grows in interest in value as it goes.
Credit to Lex in how he builds the flow of the convo
@@lexfridman2322 Alright==
I never TH-cam comment but this interview deserves one. Some incredible words from Lex conveying deep truths, and Micali for just dropping bombs everywhere.
you just popped your youtube commenting cherry then,....do you feel alright? Or do you regret it?
it was a big mistake to comment on this video your first comment
I never TH-cam comment to comment but this comment deserves one.
I've met Prof Micali in person before covid. What a brilliant mind!
OMG! yes finally people are starting to acknowledge ALGORAND, it’s going to be huge
I just bought some
@@Hoesnatcher same, a little late but it’s fine
@@Hoesnatcher me too! 500 ADA to ALGO
@Darkstar lol i think i’d need some more to make millions but should do very well this year
I've been adding algorand since the beginning of 2020. It not too late to buy in, it's the future and a great investment, the 6% apy is a nice cushion and incentive as well. I highly recommend everyone to buy at least some.
Can’t remember the last time I listened to a nearly 2 hour podcast all the way through. This was absolutely fantastic!
he is a scammer and a liar.
@@iulianserban10 wtf are you talking about
This is awesome! Thanks 1000 times for inviting him and sharing!
Here because I’m a huge believer in Algorand. Thank you for the video!
what's your price prediction
@@Peace-qm2sp $3.44 by December
This interview is amazing for Algorand marketing
After listening to Silvio, you just know he’s creating something special
I'm glad you are researching cryptocurrency Lex. It takes you down a rabbit hole that will teach you about real world economics and the current banking system we have. It's sad that main media succeeded in making everyone ignorant on the topic think of it as a scam.
I love this guy he is so cultured and knowledgable and despite the challenges of learning and speaking in a foriegn language he did not allow it to limit himself. He is brilliantly amazing. His emotional intelligence is something to be spoken for. Not to make comparisons but vitalik is like a robot and satoshi is a ghost, who do you want to guide you into the next phase of existence. Me I want to be guided with love and understanding. Long Algorand.
His ability to explain complex topics in a simple way in a second language is incredible tbh
(1:17:47 "Ma io..." in Italian: "But I...")
I love Silvio's spontaneity, creativity and humble nature. He's one of the several, true geniuses we got so lucky to have in the cryptospace.
Algorand is one of those no-frills Cryptocurrencies that's gonna be around forever. It's a solid project!
Yes there's alot of frills! Steaking rewards and smart contracts, speed and finality. I Love ALGORAND
Exactly, that is why I use it as a savings account.
You still in?
@@AgainstNature91 Of course 👍It's grown massively since then.
You know what makes me happy about that guy? He doesn't have to constantly hype up Algorand and how it's the next big thing.
He's extremely knowledgeable and insightful about the blockchain technology as a whole and he wants to build on making it better. Clearly excites me about the Algo project
Such an amazing interview about crypto, blockchain, parmigiana, languages, and emotions.
I absolutely love the way Silvio thinks and what his goals are. What a great discussion!
Makes me happier about that big algo buy a month ago. Very cool to see someone talking about their project like this while having actual skin in the game.
@Tiberius I'mserious been trying to. Never seem to have much liquid cash at the same time of the dips.. haha
This is the first video I've seen from Lex, and I have to admit I loved this interview. I came here expecting to hear only technical terms and all technology talk, but this was beyond my imagination. Loved how you lead the conservation into more philosophical questions. Just made the the whole blockchain topic interesting when combined with other elements of life. And also made you guys look more reliable when allowed yourself to have a causal conservation and enoying the momentum.
Thanks for this Lex. Great interview. Apart from being extremely bright, Mr. Micali effortlessly exudes that Italian friendliness.
Oh lex, youre such a gracious host! And you have the ability to bring out the best in those you interview. A light, by which the contrast is illuminated. You are to my mind, a wise, warm, humble and good man. And for a man, as heartfelt as yourself, you know, this is the highest compliment to recieve. I give it to you. You inspire content creators like myself to share more deeply. Thank you
The crazy thing here is I bought 200 Algorand yesterday, Algo started climbing in value tonight, and then Lex drops this podcast.
Sometimes the universe just spits out weird coincidences.
there are no coincidences, only synchronicity
ALGO is the future brother
You want to gable hey?
Keep buying. I’ve been buying steadily for months now. Algo is THE one
Hold my beer, I’ll buy some so the price dips and everyone can buy more
Silvio has a ton of very interesting ideas and deep insights. He so often says "I am just a cryptographer", but he is much more.
Great interview. Silvio is just so genuine, and the genius comes through in a very sincere and natural way.
Unlike many people in this industry, and another crypto founders who do very smart faces and some weird speech patterns to appear smarter and more qualified than they are, Silvio doesn't have the need to act unnaturally.
This is a high-level interview, congratulations. I have loved the humanity and empathy in the questions and answers, a real conversation.
Speaking of journeying, destinations and finding or not finding things - this was an extraordinary interview and the insights from Silvio an absolute gift - I found heaps...! 🙏
This interview is gourmet, like Italian food, and Asturian by the way...
Silvio is brilliant and algorand is super undervalued project
I wish I had a professor like Silvio Micali
Wide-ranging, invigorating, intellectually stimulating, with questions and answers rich in texture; thanks for this memorable interview.
The way he explained the blockchain and who will control the pages was brilliant. This is what the people outside of crypto have yet to realize. But it will hit them over the head soon. Australia central bank is coming into Algorand. Algorand also now has a total gold backing on its blockchain in their Meld. I find this a truly compelling investment opportunity.
Been listening to your podcasts exclusively via audio only; found this TH-cam page today. I appreciate your DLT & cryptocurrency episodes; timely, useful. My work is on DLT use cases outside of the FINTECH domain. Meanwhile, thanks for your work.
Algorand is going to be MASSIVE. Thank you Lex for putting us ahead of the curve once again.
Look at Algo price over time in BTC and not USD and you will see the truth.
@@MrPixmoable What is the truth
@@Peace-qm2sp It is growing.
An almost 2hr interview, but every bit of it was just riveting. Loved it!
Extraordinary interview Lex. Grateful to be able to listen. Thank you.
From beginning to end, Professor Micali to Algorand, this was a series of events filled to the brim with knowledge and while I can't easily recall every detail, this was a beautiful journey; The proof is in the pudding!
Damn, I was listening closely for 2 hours straight. Such an interesting guest, and I love how he is able to explain complicated things in an easy-to-understand way. The topics as well touched me and my personal interests :) Thx for making this podacast happen!
Absolutely Stunning conversation and a deep Love for your work, Thank you Lex!
I was inspired by Silvio’s perspective on limitations. This gives me so much confidence and motivation to seek whatever I want to do despite limitations. This is true wisdom. Thank you Lex for another amazing interview.
What an awesome interview!!!! So enlightening and interesting. Thank you Lex!!! :)
Lex, great interview and happy to hear you will be having more conversations on the topic of crypto!
Scammers already here... man.
Thanks for shining light on such a brilliant mind. Algorand is the future.
@Lex Fridman lol shutup
Really like your interviewing approach--refreshing real!
Such an amazing practical concept. More amazing is the fact it has been already built and ALGO can now make transactions in a few seconds at a fraction of the cost of any competing algorithmic system, e.g. Cardano.
you've never heard of Hedera then
Ada killlin it rn
Lex, I am no genius like you or many of your guests - yet I love most of your interviews. Sometimes I have to jump around, so I appreciate how you break them all down. I'd like to just say one thing though: Your questions and lack of knowledge never makes you seem stupid. Sometimes it almost comes off as arrogance, but I also suspect you are just being hard on yourself. Take pleasure in the fact that you provide apes like me with powerful knowledge and relax! Thanks, for all you do, dude!
i can't believe i went so long without listening to Lex. thanks so much for the amazing content. hope you have a great life my friend
Great episode lex. Such great depth, really appreciate it and your approach to interviewing.
Silvio what a Legend !
@Asht Inmitch Oh heck yeah he is !
That was brilliant. If you believe there’s free will then free will exists
Was hoping you would interview Silvio!
Can you consider interviewing Gavin Wood at some point? He's a co-founder of Ethereum and now working some really interesting projects (Polkadot, Web3 Foundation etc.).
Gavin Wood of Polkadot better than him
Watched the entire thing. Absolutely incredible content
Thanks for feedback for more guidance from me on digital currencies...
W. H. A.. T.. S. A. P. P.........+1........4..........3..........5........2........2.........4..........5.........1..........5..........6@m
So what have you learned?😂😂😂
4k to a million Lex. Nice work. Thanks for sharing the journey!
What a great interview and what a nice guest. Great job Lex!
What an intriguing and intelligent man, interviewed with professionalism and grace and keen curiosity. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bought ALGO at $0.80 be back in 2022 to secure some profits! God Speed Mr. Micali
a truly fantastic discussion, thank you both for doing this
Really amazing interview, loved your questions.
Would say you're on par with Brady from Numberphile channels, really good with engaging with the most brilliant minds alive today.
It's not a small feat of accomplishment, thank you for this interview :)
Almost better having these geniuses explain this shit in a second language.The guest did a great job explaining these systems simply.
Lets go Algo!!! Silvio is a beast
You are AWESOME man!!!! This guest was also 5 stars. I'm addicted to your show!
Thanks for feedback for more guidance from me on digital currencies...

Bravo. Silvio Micali at last made these concepts understandable. From abstraction to useable tools.
Algo all the way
Grande Silvio! Go Algo!!!
Start with the big and Basic question 👌
Lex goes straight for the kill.
What a brilliant spirit.
I feel like the conflict between decentralization compromising security and centralization compromising integrity in the early life of a project, is one of the biggest issues we face at the moment. Micali, seems like one of the few actively trying to navigate that dilemma. Wishing him and the teams the best of luck.
Loving it ! I’m great full for this interview ! ❤️
Let's go. Richard Heart interview will be epic if it happens!
Thank you Lex for this wonderful discussion!
Another great interview Lex!! Keep these coming fam!!
Love it! Thanks Lex.
This is one of the great dialogues of our time.
Another awesome interview Lex! Keep it up and stay as calm as you are!
Very good podcast worth to watch!
new to Algorand. Thank you Lex
Gambler
"beautyfully put"
"Yes."
Silvio is amazing as a communicator, as a scientist, and even as an Italian.
Fantastic conversation, thank you.
Thanks Lex. Always awesome work.
Lex, did you throw in 2 cheers references there? Great interview also 🙂
Starting to think we aren't going to get that David goggins interview
He's the Goggins of blockchain?
Crypto...I’m also reading and thinking a lot on this topic. So thank you, Lex. Keep this line of inquiry coming! Makes me love blockchain/crypto even more to know people such as this man are instrumental innovators involved with its development.
Thanks for another great interview lex
Excited to see silvio on your show! I've been a big supporter of Algorand for the last year or so. It IS the future and better than Bitcoin in every way! Get it now while it's CHEAP! And the 6% apy is a bonus!
Algorand the GOAT! 🐐🐐
i can't better than bitcoin cuz they are whole different things
no one would use a general purpose smart contract platform such as algo as store of value.
Algo is currency or gas of sort, like eth, ada, so on, utilize in processing smartcontract an governance of a network. Btc, is a commotity, a asset like gold.
that said , you can't actually says algorand is better than bitcoin like you can;t say gold is better than euro or cad
maybe you could says "algorand is better than ethereum" or "cardano" that would make some sense
I can always count on Silvio and Lex to bring things back to first principles. Algorand is a fantastic piece of technology, and am excited as it adapts to its environment to lead the transaction blockchain network.
10:00 I strongly recommend reading "on the origin of money" from carl menger. It is a more sophisticated explanation but the short version is what Silvio explains here, money originates as a commodity that everyone wants either for use or because they know htey can trade it easily (food, salt, then gold).
I find it extremely astonishing you start the interview with as little ego as possible, compassion & love.
Excited to watch this now :) #ALGO bull before, wonder if I'll become an #ASTRONAUT afterwards
LOVE Jiro: Dreams of Sushi! passion for perfection as multigenerational striving
i wouldnt want to debate this man about crypto, that's for sure, he's good
Such a beautiful interview and demonstration of playfully intellectual dialogue. Truly aesthetic 💙🙏
This podcast was super awesome!
This is the best part of the entire TH-cam
Let’s go!!! #ALGORAND!
Wow! one great interview after another, thank you :)
Great interview , you got the great Mr. Micali to express himself.
@Lex Fridman is it James Bond
Could you please invite Andreas Antonopoulos for the next crypto-related podcast?
Algo $100 moon!! #Hold
that would be pretty dope ; ) although...maybe we hit $5 first lol
Loving the enthusiasm lmao but yeah baby steps first my man
Silvio Is a brilliant man, Algorand the brilliant project.
Beautiful! Thanks for this!
This podcast made me a pretty penny. Let’s go Algo
Congrats on a million Lex! You deserve it
One of the very best interviews you have published. Yes, an outstandingly warm and manifestly accomplished, guest; but you were also somehow at the top of your game in the interviewing labours, here.
