When first coming into blockchain in 2020 I was listening to, what I felt, was a lot of grift, money-go-up talk and to hear Silvio was a breath of fresh air.
I think it's great that he never grabbed the mantle as Algorand-figurehead and is working on other blockchain projects that, I think, will benefit Algorand in the longrun.
IMO..below are the four best Silvio Micali interviews.
* **ACM Turing:** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOXBU2xYGoI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOXBU2xYGoI)
* 3hr+ interview where he discusses childhood/family, education, thought process, blockchain, CS innovations (8.9k views)
* **Crypto Bahamas (ft. Illia Polosukhin/NEAR, Kevin Sekniqi/Ava, Anatoly Yakovenko/Solana):** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zC4moQjdYc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zC4moQjdYc)
* Fun to see him on a panel with other blockchain founders and to see, comparatively, his authenicity and assuredness (5.8k views)
* **Korea Blockchain (ft. Vitalik):** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmfakKCo5I0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmfakKCo5I0)
* Again, fun to see him next to another blockchain founder (2.8k views)
* \*Vitalik is obviously also a genius but lacks Silvio's personability
* **Panel Discussion Simons Inst. (ft. non-blockchain computer scientists):** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmfakKCo5I0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmfakKCo5I0)
* Interesting to see him generally discussing computer science and respect from peers (1.3k views)
