About Validated

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.

Over time, the difference is not shrinking, but it's not also larger than we had half a year ago. So still, it's quite a distance, but not as crucial of a difference. And what we see is that decentralized and open source minimum can play a role of holding this frontier labs accountable. In similar fashion as open source haven't destroyed Microsoft's. But it held Microsoft accountable. And they weren't able to sell their products for thousands of dollars without any competition. […]
