The Agenda Podcast: Decoding Crypto
The Agenda podcast explores the promises of crypto, blockchain and Web3, and how everyday people level up and improve their lives with these new technologies. It covers everything from new blockchain tech to Bitcoin mass adoption and cultural shifts in Web3. Every two weeks, Cointelegraph’s The Agenda podcast tackles a new topic by speaking with the innovators and experts building the Web3 the world actually needs. After all, crypto is for everyone, not just rocket scientists, venture capitalists and high-IQ developers.
