PlutusWealthRecovery was a lifesaver! I thought my lost crypto was gone for good, but their team was professional, supportive, and actually got my funds back. Highly recommend!

how does this show have 1 mins of ads for 3 min show?

I get tired of hearing Jen snicker through her microphone.

Love the diversity of content. Hosts/guests are often entertaining. But I have noticed feeling time constraints…why? It’s a podcast. And on the most recent episode 1,722, y’all cut off a legit discussion about the industry to end the show. Let it play out. 5 Star review if you do.

Consistently brilliant insight and analysis! Being well informed is paramount, you guys provide this. Gracias!

NLW is the best daily source for overall crypto. Doesn’t just focus on Bitcoin.

Great show, stop saying friendos, it’s like calling somebody boss or buddy. It’s disingenuous. You have a great show, keep it up.

Will, Jen, Wendy, Zach, Adam & team do a great job on a daily basis with a 20-30 minute show. The level of discussion is complete and free of any bias, generally. (If so, it is disclosed) There are some ‘hot takes’ and Twitter news/drama from time to time but otherwise very factually based discussions without FUD or dunking. If you are new to crypto or a seasoned vet, this podcast is a great place to start or add to your daily podcast rotation.

The Hash is great but Wendy is terrible. It’s apparent the cohosts have a similar opinion of her.

Dare you to name a better one.

I consider this to be one of just a few must-listen to podcasts on a daily basis. It provides a perfect amount of the most up-to-date, relevant information with knowledgeable guests and opinions by NLW. Thank you all for this VERY valued service!

Maybe NLW needs more rocket emojis. Haha, only kidding. NLW does a great job and I really enjoy his perspective.

The best daily update on the space!

Great to get a 50000 ft view.

Love this podcast. In a world when so much is presented as right or wrong, black or white, my way or the wrong way, NLW presents a refreshingly nuanced perspective from a variety of sources. Love learning about the views of people across the political spectrum that I might not otherwise hear from or about. Always worth my time.

I appreciate NLW’s thought provoking content in that it’s balanced and presents extensive background enabling the listener to learn and think about the broader “power shifts” driving the actions. It’s a must listen daily podcast for me and more than just crypto content. The macro and political angles help in other industries as well.

Like a lot of people I got into this because of their take on cryptocurrency markers, but stayed for the insight into the broader economy and how everything works together. The commentary is fast paced and has some editorial content (which I like). You can get data, news, and numbers anywhere, but I like their take on what’s going on from a 30,000’ perspective. One of my few go-to podcasts.

The Breakdown with NLW is the best podcast. Incredibly high quality journalism and discourse on crypto and macro economics. Mainstream media could learn a thing or two from this guy across the board. I look forward to new episodes throughout the week. Keep up the fantastic work NLW and CoinDesk.

A pod on the Economy, Political/Financial Events ... and Crypto. Varied topics, interesting guests, even handed discussions. I don’t know how Nathaniel (NLW) finds his guests or conducts the in-depth research behind his insightful questions. On a daily basis he shows other “professional” podcasts, e.g., Motley Fool’s MarketFoolery & Money, to be self-serving, bucket shop peddlers.

I very much enjoy the short format yet in-depth analysis provided by especially The Breakdown and The Hash. One thing I’m very much impressed with is I don’t feel like I’m being shilled some coin or promoted towards some particular company all the time.I love the microanalysis and macroanalysis. Just tell me about the crypto economy. Let me make up my own mind.I think that’s why I like this contact so well. Well done and keep up the good work!

Incredible distillation of smart takes on the crypto news and changes in world power/ internet/ money. I don’t miss an episode.

One of the best if not the best crypto news program out there. Practical clear eyed reporting on the news of the day. Highly recommend for hard core or newb normie - this is one of the best ways to get a good sense of what’s happening in crypto. 5 stars!

I don’t often write podcast reviews but this podcast deserves it. There is SO much crypto info out there but this podcast consolidates it into one easily digestible clip every day. After listening to this podcast over time you will understand everything you need to know about crypto and it’s macro economic effects.

Love this podcast but episode 935 is off base. Bring on some experienced foreign police experts if you’re going to dive into foreign policy. There were multiple inaccuracies and and grotesque under simplifications. Comparing sanctions to cancel culture? Come on. Exporting democratic ideas? Let’s look at China and the WTO. There has long been the existence of multiple reserve currencies. Not just the dollar. This episode is just bad.

Having no former knowledge in crypto assets this podcast has brought me further along than I may have ever, by picking up current literature and trying to catch up. The best part, political bias does seem to be muted and that is a huge plus for me. Update 2/18/2020 Everything I’ve written previous still stands. This is the most informative podcast for Neewbs such as myself and possibly even for seasoned veterans in this space too. I just haven’t seen any other source put things into perspective as well. The best part is I never notice a bias either way. The politics are other hot button issues are always discussed solely in terms of long term macro possibilities. Never do I feel I must be in a side or in a camp to listen and learn. Thanks NLW! Update 3/27/2021 Still stand by all above. Also thanks to NLW just learned just learned that options expiration has an effect on short term pricing of the underlying. Guess I’ll have to learn how to track open interest volume for various strike pricing. Keep up the great work to NLW and the others on the CoinDesk platform too. 04/01/2021 This episode was super informative in regards to Archegos forced liquidation. The most important points: Beware leverage Beware dealing won’t criminals BTC and Cryptos are the solution not the problem. 01/13/2022 Still the most pertinent show to orient your crypto compass to.

NLW shares relevant news of the day, dips into new developments, and doesn’t forget the macro picture at large. He is always keen to identify possible correlations, share Multiple views from respected economists and devs that often run counter, and lastly, to cleanly give his thoughts; always devoid of ego. It’s a top 5 show in this genre.

I listen to this show almost every day. I have a nightly routine: nightly bike ride while listening to this show. Great content and NLW is a great interviewer!

Have you ever presented what you thought was a thoroughly-documented and definitive thesis only to discover that you had overlooked some key literature on the subject matter? This will never be the case with NLW, who also always will keep the many sides of any reporting well-balanced and in fruitful tension.

Nathan ( NLW ) is so smart and informed - and he brings in AMAZING guests with so much intellectual horsepower and domain expertise - it makes for some quality listening - that will improve your understanding of the crypto landscape dramatically.

Best daily crypto podcast.

This is in my top 3 for PodCasts for Economics and Crypto Macro information. Not only is NLW informative, he seeks to justify both sides of the street as he delivers with solid enthusiasm. I listen as often as it gets updated, & appreciate every time his neutral stance and deep thought on our growing Meta-Future! One Love brother. Peace. @Guimondlucas CryptoLuscian Luscian

Crypto news when you need it. A good variety of crypto news from around the world that is inclusive to crypto. Great listen for the updates on the ups and downs, significant, and trivial crypto world.

Keeps me updated that mainstream news doesn’t and helps me understand much more in the crypto world

Excellent digest of relevant news.

Plain and simple, my favorite podcast that’s helping me enter the wide world of crypto

Extremely well informed and digestible (appreciate that most daily episodes are ~ 15 mins).

This podcast is certainly focused on the crypto markets but NLW takes a much more holistic look at macro economics and the World events that are moving both crypto and traditional markets. This is not somebody who is pumping coins or telling you how to get rich but instead, gives a very high level market and sites that I think very well balance the perspective one hears from Bloomberg for instance.It sounds like he has a traditional Wall Street educational background but is also extremely deep into crypto markets and that is a very powerful combination. On top of that he is extremely articulate and concise and easy to listen to. (and I believe he recently had a baby and yet I have seen no reduction in the quality or frequency of this podcast which is amazing!).

As I continue to push and learn more, I’ve found that coming into this podcast as a somewhat of a noob that the acronyms were quite abundant and I’ve had to do a lot of research to figure out what the heck was being discussed. So perhaps just less acronyms.

I really enjoy listening to this podcast. Author seems pretty knowledgeable and covers topics with great details. Just an advise to keep noise away and focus on fundamentals and quality content, or that will ruin the show. Most listeners want to hear what changes are coming in the pipeline for big players in this industry, and what their CEOs or developers have to say, and how that will revolutionize world as we know it. It’s important to keep nonsense noise low, especially from folks who claim to know the industry but actually do not know it, and manipulate market for their own advantage!! The more attention they get, the more authentic they look!

I liked the show but you didn’t cover the argument I made on Twitter on the energy council so I’m docking you 2 stars for the audacity, and because I think you’re wearing bitcoin goggles, but I get that it’s very politically/ideologically important to many. For bitcoin to become the global asset/currency you want it to be, it needs to grow exponentially from here. That means the energy use also has to increase exponentially sans some incredible breakthrough (not counting strike, limited adoption, and does nothing to improve the layer one itself). The energy use is already way too much, and it’s only going to go up. Whether we’ve got grass fed green bitcoin or not is irrelevant in my eyes. It’s taking that green energy away from the rest of the still-polluting economy, and crowding out renewable energy use in other sectors, slowing down the transition, which ruins everything down the road. This might be justifiable if it was just bitcoin vs fiats, but lbh that’s a super low bar, practically a straw man. It’s bitcoin vs the multitude of faster, more energy efficient, more secure gen 2 and 3 cryptos that exist today, and bitcoin just loses that on everything except for network effect. You don’t need to consume all of Holland’s electricity or more to run a scaled, secure distributed ledger, that’s been proven. This council is not only centralized garbo greed frogs, but their press statement to eventually green bitcoin (what I call cynical virtue signaling by people who deep down probably don’t even believe in climate change) is irrelevant! Fiat is a wheel, bitcoin is a horse, and the good gen 3 cryptos are sports cars. For a society to continue relying on the horse in the car age would have not only been folly, but irresponsibly dangerous, and the same principle applies here. But I like the show. You should have some non-bitcoin crypto people on so you can debate, because they would make arguments a maxi wouldn’t consider, you would get activated, and I’m sure you’d have many insightful points to add. Conversations, not echo chambers, that’s the way.

Here is an honest critique. I have listened to probably 20 episodes so far and I am usually listening to more long-form stuff like Peter Mcormack’s What Bitcoin Did, but this is becoming more of a better go-to for a quick update. NLW (and team) do a great job covering recent events and staying above the fray!! Really great coverage of this week’s market crash, knowing how much leverage was liquidated and how much whales moved onto exchanges. Keep this coming!! My last comment is the *very cheesy* sign-off “stay safe and take care of each other, peace!” What are we in high school/living in anarchy? You could do better with simply “thanks for listening and have a great evening!” - this would be much more professional. I will keep listening but I hope to hear your sign off change. Peace!! XD

I agree Elon using his influence..but what about Barry who invested in Coinbase? Not irresponsible or manipulative tweeting ?

I discovered this podcast about a week ago and always get excited for the new ones to come out. This really is a great source of information that does not feel biased in anyway and I feel like it gives me all the information to stay up to date. I can’t wait for the daily episode and have built it into my schedule

Eventually, we all work our way to that regular podcast for which we cannot wait to hear awesome takes in the crypto sphere. Nathaniel’s work is definitely that one for me. Regular, quick updates, awesome insights, and unquestionably the best intro music in the industry:) Keep up the great work, NLW!!

I listen almost daily and even a novice like myself can pull stuff from it.

Love the articles read on this podcast. Thought provoking.

The information included in the 3/1/2021 episode regarding WSB mods is false and the affiliated individuals noted are NOT affiliated with the subreddit or the movement in general, including the Twitter account mentioned. Really was enjoying this show the past few weeks, then heard that today and realized maybe the information here is also information with an agenda. Sad. Edit: May 1st 2021 disinformation by neglecting to mention Cardano (ADA) as a potential ETH killer because your boss is at odds with the founder. Pathetic journalism at its weakest

Great research. It’s my go-to source for staying up-to-date on crypto/macro news. I never miss a pod. Keep it up NLW!

I love this podcast and I’m an idiot on matters of tech, math & finance. NLW does not talk down. My only beef is his d-chey ironic/unironic “peace!” sign off.

Lately I’ve been quoting this podcast to my husband… me: “NLW says…” my husband: “NLW?” LOL! I love this podcast and love the information, great analysis and interesting opinions offered. Great job, NLW! You’re becoming a known name here in our home.
