Crypto Curious

This week’s episode is all about power — who has it, who’s fighting for it, and how it’s reshaping the future of crypto. We👉🏼 We start in the US, where one of the most important pieces of crypto legislation — the CLARITY Act — is now at risk of falling apart. Not because the industry disagrees on the big picture, but because of one very specific battleground: stablecoin yield. And at the centre of it all, Coinbase is once again pushing back — raising big questions about influence, incentives, and who really gets to shape the rules of this industry.👉🏼 Then we head closer to home, with a special guest, David Menz of Stand with Crypto joining us to unpack what crypto advocacy actually looks like in Australia. With millions of potential crypto voters and regulation still stuck in limbo, the question becomes: what does “winning” even look like here?👉🏼 And finally, we zoom out to the biggest signal of all — because while policymakers debate the rules, the New York Stock Exchange is already building the future. A 24/7, blockchain-based trading platform for stocks, powered by stablecoins and instant settlement. Not a concept — actual infrastructure.Policy fights, political momentum, and markets that never close.Let’s get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS2:31 What is 'Stand with Crypto'?7:30 Messy advocacy - what's going on with the Clarity Act?12:03 Turning local now to Australia, we hit David with some pointy ones!17:43 New York Stock Exchange builds out trading on 24/7 blockchain20:55 Short, sharp news bites****SHOWNOTESDavid Menz - where to find him!LinkedIn:STAND WITH CRYPTO AUSTRALIASWC LinkedInSWC X (Twitter)Sign up for the Crypto Curious Newsletter💥 Have you downloaded Bamboo’s 2026 Crypto Market Report? 💥****If you’re enjoying these episodes please subscribe to our podcast on your preferred platform, leave a review, or share this episode with a friend or family member.If you want to start investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold & Silver, you can download the Bamboo app here.

By the end of the weekend, we were back below $69K, all triggered by a single geopolitical curveball. A post from Donald Trump on Truth Social referencing Iran was enough to rattle global markets, and with a key deadline expiring today, the uncertainty isn’t exactly behind us.But while prices were reacting in real time, regulators were doing something far more deliberate.In a move that could reshape the entire industry, the SEC and CFTC have, for the first time, formally identified 16 crypto assets — including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and XRP — as commodities, not securities. It’s the kind of clarity the market has been asking for… and it could change how institutions, products, and capital flow into this space from here.And then there’s what’s happening behind the scenes — because while headlines focus on price and policy, the Bitcoin network itself is under pressure.Mining difficulty just dropped nearly 8%, one of the biggest declines we’ve seen this year. At the same time, the average cost to mine a single Bitcoin is sitting around $88,000… while it’s trading closer to $69,000. In simple terms: a lot of miners are operating at a loss right now.So today, we’re unpacking all of it — the macro shock that moved the market, the regulatory shift that could define what comes next, and the growing stress signals under the surface.Let’s get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS2:24 BTC drops 7% thanks to a single tweet!3:47 Hyperliquid's (oil) slick move!5:42 The SEC and CFTC names 16 crypto assets as digital commodities7:47 Bitcoin miners in crisis10:54 Short, sharp news bites****SHOWNOTESSign up for the Crypto Curious Newsletter💥 Have you downloaded Bamboo’s 2026 Crypto Market Report? 💥****If you’re enjoying these episodes please subscribe to our podcast on your preferred platform, leave a review, or share this episode with a friend or family member.If you want to start investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold & Silver, you can download the Bamboo app here.

This week feels like one of those moments where crypto takes another step toward the mainstream while still attracting just as much criticism as ever.👉🏼 We start with BlackRock, which has just launched a new kind of crypto ETF — one that actually pays investors to hold it. It’s a major shift in how these products work, and a signal that traditional finance isn’t just entering crypto… it’s starting to reshape it.👉🏼 Then we look at Michael Saylor, who continues to double down in a way only he can. Another billion dollars into Bitcoin, eleven weeks straight of buying, and now a target of one million Bitcoin on the balance sheet.👉🏼 And finally, we get into the backlash. Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has labelled Bitcoin a Ponzi scheme — setting off a wave of responses from some of the biggest names in the industry.Institutions are building, conviction is rising, and the debate is far from over.Let's get into it 🚀*****TIMESTAMPS:2:12 Blackrock launches a brand-new product - first crypto ETF that will let you generate a yield5:15 Michael Saylor's Strategy buys up BIG!7:48 Spicing things up now - enter Boris Johnson!11:14 Short, sharp news bites****SHOWNOTESMichael Saylor on X - Stretch the orange dotsSign up for the Crypto Curious Newsletter💥 Have you downloaded Bamboo’s 2026 Crypto Market Report? 💥****If you’re enjoying these episodes please subscribe to our podcast on your preferred platform, leave a review, or share this episode with a friend or family member.If you want to start investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold & Silver, you can download the Bamboo app here.

This week’s episode is all about a shift in power, from institutions stepping further into crypto, to global markets reminding us why Bitcoin exists in the first place.👉🏼 First up, Wall Street makes another serious move into the industry. The New York Stock Exchange has taken a stake in a crypto exchange, while Kraken has just secured something even more surprising — access to a Federal Reserve bank account.👉🏼 Then we look at one of Bitcoin’s biggest milestones yet. The network is about to mine its 20 millionth coin, leaving just one million left to be issued over the next century. It’s a moment that really highlights the long-term design behind the world’s most scarce digital asset.👉🏼 And finally, we head to South Korea, where a sudden stock market crash wiped 20% off the KOSPI in just two days — while Bitcoin surged past $73,000, reminding investors exactly why some people see it as an alternative to the traditional system.Wall Street moves in, Bitcoin scarcity tightens, and global markets wobble.Let's get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS2:03 NY Stock Exchange invests in OKX5:26 20millionth Bitcoin getting mined!!!8:09 What happened in South Korea?10:25 Short, sharp news bites****SHOWNOTESSign up for the Crypto Curious NewsletterDECA has just released a major new independent research report💥 Have you downloaded Bamboo’s 2026 Crypto Market Report? 💥****If you’re enjoying these episodes please subscribe to our podcast on your preferred platform, leave a review, or share this episode with a friend or family member.If you want to start investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold & Silver, you can download the Bamboo app here.

Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast — brought to you by the Bamboo App.I’m Tracey, and as always, I’m joined by Blake. This week feels like a stress test for the entire space.👉🏼 Bitcoin dumped to $65,000 in the middle of a macro storm — tariffs, inflation data, no rate cuts — and instead of blaming the economy, crypto Twitter decided a Wall Street trading giant was secretly nuking the market at 10am every day.👉🏼 We unpack the Jane Street conspiracy, what the data actually says, and why the real story is probably far less dramatic — and far more macro.Then we head to Washington, where the CLARITY Act has hit a wall over one explosive issue: should Americans be allowed to earn yield on stablecoins? Three White House meetings, one hard deadline, zero deal.👉🏼 And finally, we zoom out globally — because while US miners are struggling at $80,000 production costs, Iran is mining Bitcoin for $1,320 a coin and using it to bypass sanctions.Fear, politics, power — and a network that doesn’t care who uses it.Let's get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS2:14 Secret dumping of Bitcoin at 10am every morning?

Welcome to the Crypto Curious podcast, brought to you weekly by the Bamboo App.This week we’re looking at how power in crypto is shifting, from social platforms to billionaire investors, to policymakers.👉🏼 First up, Elon Musk is turning X into something that looks a lot like a live trading terminal — with crypto and stocks embedded directly into your feed. What happens when speculation sits inside the world’s biggest attention machine?👉🏼 Then we unpack Mike Novogratz’s comment that “the age of speculation is over”, what he really meant, and whether crypto is actually maturing or just resetting.👉🏼 And finally, we head to Canberra, where serious conversations are taking place about a potential Australian Bitcoin reserve. Blake was in the room — and we’re joined again by Jonno Newman to help break down what this could mean locally and globally.Let's get into it! 🚀****TIMESTAMPS2:24 Is Elon turning X into a trading platform?6:02 Is Crypto's age of speculation coming to an end?9:45 Blake & Jonno round table in Canberra to discuss the Bitcoin Reserve in Australia19:14 Short, sharp news bites****SHOWNOTESTRM LabsBitcoin MinorsYoutubeInstagram TikTok 💥 Have you downloaded Bamboo’s 2026 Crypto Market Report? 💥****If you’re enjoying these episodes please subscribe to our podcast on your preferred platform, leave a review, or share this episode with a friend or family member.If you want to start investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold & Silver, you can download the Bamboo app here.

I’m Tracey, and this week feels like one of those defining moments where crypto shows its true colours.👉🏼 Bitcoin has just had one of its most brutal weeks in years — billions liquidated, sentiment crushed, and a lot of newer investors getting a very real lesson in volatility. We unpack what actually happened, who got wiped out, and why long-term holders are quietly doing the opposite of panicking.👉🏼 Then we shift gears to the builder side of the market, with the launch of MegaETH’s testnet and the growing push toward a faster, high-performance Ethereum — because while prices chop, infrastructure keeps shipping.👉🏼 And finally, Blake reports live from Canberra, where policymakers and industry leaders are holding serious conversations about whether Australia should treat Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset — not just a speculative trade.Let's get into it! 🚀****TIMESTAMPS1:32 Is this one of Bitcoin's ugliest weeks?3:22 What are cascading liquidations?6:34 MegaETH launches9:12 Blake fills us in on the crypto round table he attended this week in Canberra!11:42 Short, sharp news bites****SHOWNOTES💥 Have you downloaded Bamboo’s 2026 Crypto Market Report? 💥****If you’re enjoying these episodes please subscribe to our podcast on your preferred platform, leave a review, or share this episode with a friend or family member.If you want to start investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold & Silver, you can download the Bamboo app here.

Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast — brought to you by the Bamboo App.We'll get straight into it - this week’s episode is all about conviction — who really has it, who thinks they do, and what happens when the market pushes back.👉🏼 We start with Bitcoin sliding lower as markets react to Donald Trump’s pick for the next US Federal Reserve Chair, and why macro and liquidity still matter more than most people like to admit.👉🏼 Then we look at MicroStrategy, which continues to buy Bitcoin aggressively — even as ETF flows cool — and what that tells us about long-term conviction versus short-term positioning.👉🏼 And finally, we unpack one of the wildest cautionary tales of the year: a so-called “Trump insider” with a perfect trading record who gets completely wiped out — and the uncomfortable lessons that creates around leverage, confidence, and copy-trading.Whether you’re new to crypto or deep in the weeds, this is an episode about understanding risk, behaviour, and what actually matters when markets get uncomfortable.Let's get into it! 🚀****TIMESTAMPS1:32 Bitcoin under selling pressure3:58 MicroStrategy continues to stockpile - what fear?**Blake unpacks some seriously interesting facts here.8:41 The perfect trader gets wiped out (is it Barron?)11:35 💥New webinar announcement !!12:12 Short, sharp news bites****SHOWNOTES💥 Have you downloaded Bamboo’s 2026 Crypto Market Report? 💥****If you’re enjoying these episodes please subscribe to our podcast on your preferred platform, leave a review, or share this episode with a friend or family member.If you want to start investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold & Silver, you can download the Bamboo app here.

Welcome to the Crypto Curious podcast — brought to you by the Bamboo App.I’m Tracey, and this week we’re looking at a set of stories that all point to one big shift: crypto adoption isn’t coming from where people expected.👉🏼 We start with a $200 million Ethereum-backed bet on MrBeast — not a token launch, not an ad deal, but a signal that creators and distribution may matter more than exchanges or banks ever did.👉🏼 Then we head to Washington, where US crypto laws have stalled yet again — and why this pause might actually be a sign that regulation is finally moving from rushed reactions to more thoughtful design.👉🏼 And finally, we unpack the growing reality that the US government now controls around 3% of all Bitcoin — raising big questions about ownership, neutrality, and what it really means for Bitcoin to sit outside the system.We’re also joined this week by Matthew Fraser — entrepreneur, long-time crypto investor, and educator — to help us ground these stories in what they mean for everyday investors thinking long term.Let's get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS3:33 Tom Lee from Bitmine deploys $200million into Beast Industries6:32 US Senate delays stall regulation yet again10:19 3% of all Bitcoin controlled by the US Government14:08 Short, sharp news bites****SHOWNOTESMatthew FraserCrypto Collective$70 Trillion in global banking💥 Have you downloaded Bamboo’s 2026 Crypto Market Report? 💥****If you’re enjoying these episodes please subscribe to our podcast on your preferred platform, leave a review, or share this episode with a friend or family member.If you want to start investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold & Silver, you can download the Bamboo app here.

This week we’re looking at a set of stories that all circle the same uncomfortable question: who really has the power in crypto right now?👉🏼 We start with a Trump-backed Bitcoin mining company that’s seen a brutal sell-off — followed by insider buying that’s raising eyebrows and forcing investors to think about confidence, optics, and political branding in crypto equities.👉🏼 Then we turn to an ICO that struggled to find demand, changed its rules mid-sale, and sparked backlash — reopening the debate around fairness, transparency, and whether token launches still work the way they used to.👉🏼And finally, we zoom out to stablecoins, after Tether froze over $180 million in USDT — at the same time these tokens are being used as financial lifelines in places like Iran and Venezuela.Three very different stories — but all pointing to the same tension between decentralisation, trust, and control.Let's get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS1:29 Politics, market & crypto intersect5:10 ICO fail.

Welcome to the Crypto Curious podcast, and our first episode for the year!I’m Tracey, and today Blake and I are unpacking a week that feels quietly important as we settle into 2026.👉🏼 We’re starting with the return of ETF inflows into Bitcoin — not in a euphoric rush, but in a much calmer, more deliberate way. We’ll talk about what that says about market maturity, and why this may matter more for long-term investors than short-term traders.👉🏼 Then we’ll dig into comments from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, who says the network may be closer than ever to solving crypto’s biggest technical trade-off — and why that confidence is worth paying attention to.👉🏼 And finally, we’ll walk through the recent Ledger data breach — what actually happened, what didn’t, and why personal data leaks can still be a serious risk even when your crypto remains safe.Let's get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS1:27 Crypto ETF inflows early pump?4:14 Vitalik hints at change8:40 Breaking news - Ledger data breach!!11:46 Short, sharp news bites****SHOWNOTESVitalik on X💥 Have you downloaded Bamboo’s first ever Crypto Market Report? 💥****If you’re enjoying these episodes please subscribe to our podcast on your preferred platform, leave a review, or share this episode with a friend or family member.If you want to start investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold & Silver, you can download the Bamboo app here.

I’m Tracey and joining me in the hot seat are Blake and Craig Jackson for our end-of-year wrap.We’re looking back at the year that was in crypto, the all-time highs, the pullbacks, the memecoin madness, the slower but crucial progress on regulation, and what all of it meant for everyday investors using dollar cost averaging.We’ll unpack the biggest themes that defined 2025, dig deeper into a few of the most important shifts, and then finish with our thoughts on what could matter most in 2026 and beyond.It’s been a big year — so let’s get into it 🚀****💥 Have you downloaded Bamboo’s first ever Crypto Market Report? 💥****If you’re enjoying these episodes please subscribe to our podcast on your preferred platform, leave a review, or share this episode with a friend or family member.If you want to start investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold & Silver, you can download the Bamboo app here.

Welcome back to the Crypto Curious 🎙️. Today we’re diving into Ethereum’s macro moment and how Tom Lee’s BitMine could be turning it into a treasury powerhouse.👉🏼 We’ll dig into the debanking dilemma that just won’t go away, despite all those big executive order promises.👉🏼And we’re pulling back the curtain on the world of crypto crime investigations — the cases you’ve heard about, and the ones that never see the light of day.Joining us for the ride is our guest host, Jonno Newman, Senior Investigator at TRM Labs, leading efforts across the Asia-Pacific to help law enforcement, exchanges, and DeFi protocols use blockchain intelligence to disrupt financial crime. Before TRM, Jonno spent years at Kraken and over a decade with South Australia Police tackling cybercrime. He’s also a dad of two, author of a children’s book that turns the madness of crypto Twitter into a bedtime story, and 'fun fact' ... a proud Bamboo user since 2022.Let's go! 🚀****TIMESTAMPS2:31 An intro into Jonno!5:06 TRM Labs.

This week in crypto? It’s anything but boring.👉🏼 First up, Kraken is making waves, planning a monster $500 million raise at a jaw-dropping $15 billion valuation. That’s right, the OG crypto exchange is gearing up for something big. 👀👉🏼 Then… hold onto your private keys. The SEC just dropped "Project Crypto", a bold new plan to drag U.S. markets on-chain. Is this the beginning of Wall Street 2.0 or just another power move from the suits in Washington?👉🏼 And that’s just the start! We’ve got a stack of short, sharp news bites lined up to keep you in the loop and ahead of the curve.Let’s get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS1:44 Kraken gearing up to go public in 2026!4:10 The SEC unveils 'Project Crypto'9:14 Short, sharp news bites****If you’re enjoying these episodes please subscribe to our podcast on your preferred platform, leave a review, or share this episode with a friend or family member.If you want to start investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold & Silver, you can download the Bamboo app here.

In today's episode, we farewell one of the OG's of Crypto Curious. That's right, Craig is being cancelled!!! But before we get too misty-eyed, we're kicking off with something very on-brand for Craig: a bullish Ethereum update that might just make you want to double down. If you’ve been with us from the start, you’ll know Craig’s been waving the ETH flag since day one — so it’s only fitting.Then, we dive into a bombshell from the deep pockets of Bitcoin history. One of the original Satoshi-era whales has just moved a jaw-dropping 80,000 BTC — that’s over $9 billion worth — and exited the market. What does it mean? We’ve got thoughts.And finally, as Craig signs off from his regular spot on the pod, we turn the mic squarely on him. It’s time for a no-holds-barred hot seat moment: his predictions, market sentiment, and maybe even some long-hoarded alpha. This is Craig’s crystal ball episode🔮Let's go 🚀TIMESTAMPS3:30 ETH flipping?7:57 80,000 BTC sold off.
