Crypto Curious

Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast 👋🏼Every Wednesday we break down the biggest stories in crypto and help you make sense of the week — whether you’re brand new to the space or already deep in the ecosystem.👉🏼 This week, we’re kicking off December with a small market shake as Bitcoin starts the month with a bit of a wobble. We’ll unpack what’s behind the move and what it signals heading into year-end.👉🏼 Then we shift to Ethereum, where the next major upgrade — Fusaka — is on the horizon. We’ll walk through what it aims to solve, what it unlocks, and why developers are calling it a meaningful step forward for the network.👉🏼And finally, prediction markets are taking a major leap on-chain. Kalshi is tokenizing their markets on Solana, bringing a regulated prediction platform into the crypto world in a way we haven’t seen before.Lots to get through — so, let’s get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPSFirst up - a quick round up on Australian Crypto Con from Blake.2:43 BTC double dipping?4:32 Ethereum levels up6:59 Vitalik news...8:29 Kalshi crypto mic drop!10:50 Short, sharp news bites****SHOWNOTESEthBurned.info****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!👉🏼 This week, we’re kicking things off with one of the wildest Bitcoin stories we’ve heard in a while: a solo hobby miner who beat million-to-one odds and walked away with more than $266,000 USD in BTC.👉🏼 We then shift gears into big industry news — Kraken’s new $20B valuation and their confidential filing for a U.S. IPO, a major signal that crypto companies are heading back toward public markets.And we’re not flying solo today: Jonno is back as guest host. You loved him last time for his security insights, and this week he’s brought a real-world case study showing how blockchain analysis helped police bring down a criminal gang. It’s a fascinating look at how crypto is shaping modern investigations.So, let’s get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS2:07 Solo bitcoin miner mines entire block5:25 Kraken files for I.P.O9:34 Jonno's case study unpacked13:25 Trace gets hacked!!!16:34 Short, sharp news bites****SHOWNOTESMcAfeeLottery MinerTRM LabsBitcoin MinorsYoutubeInstagram TikTok ****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. This week, Tracey and Blake are diving into one of the biggest questions on everyone’s mind right now: where is this market actually heading?Bitcoin has pulled back sharply, sentiment has flipped, and there’s a lot of noise out there — so we’re breaking down what’s really happening, what matters, and what’s just chart drama. We’ll unpack the latest Bitcoin price action, the talk of a “death cross,” and whether this pullback signals a genuine shift or just another mid-cycle reset.Then we’re looking at Aave’s brand-new high-yield consumer app — a huge step for DeFi going mainstream — and after that, a rapid-fire round of the biggest news bites you might have missed this week.Let’s get into it 🚀****SHOWNOTESDon't forget the Aus Crypto Con is fast approaching!****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.
