Crypto Curious

This week, we're looking at three stories that all point to the same conclusion: crypto is becoming increasingly tied to the institutions it once claimed to replace.👉🏼 We start in Washington, where newly appointed Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh has made his first major appearance — and markets didn't love what they heard. Expectations for interest rate cuts have been rapidly repriced, risk assets have come under pressure, and crypto investors are suddenly facing a very different macro environment than the one many expected at the start of the year.👉🏼 Then we head to Wall Street, where the biggest IPO in history has officially landed. SpaceX has debuted on the Nasdaq with more than 18,000 Bitcoin sitting on its balance sheet, instantly becoming one of the world's largest corporate holders of the asset. It's another sign that Bitcoin is no longer just a retail story — it's increasingly becoming part of corporate treasury strategy at the highest level.👉🏼 And finally, we bring it home to Australia. The government's new crypto licensing framework is fast approaching, but with the deadline almost here, reports suggest only a small fraction of local platforms are actually prepared. What happens next could shape the future of Australia's digital asset industry for years to come.Let's get into it. 🚀****TIMESTAMPS2:08 Red candles thanks to Fed Reserve4:41 The single biggest IPO in history - SpaceX6:43 DECA conference talking points from Blake10:42 Short, sharp news bites****Show notes:Curious about our app?

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.

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.

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.
