    214 - From MrBeast to the US Treasury: With Matthew Fraser of Crypto Collective

    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 🚀 **** TIMESTAMPS 3:33 Tom Lee from Bitmine deploys $200million into Beast Industries 6:32 US Senate delays stall regulation yet again 10:19 3% of all Bitcoin controlled by the US Government 14:08 Short, sharp news bites **** SHOWNOTES Matthew Fraser Crypto 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.

  2. 213 - From Trump-Backed Bitcoin to Frozen Stablecoins: A Reality Check for Crypto

    14 JAN

    213 - From Trump-Backed Bitcoin to Frozen Stablecoins: A Reality Check for Crypto

    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 🚀 **** TIMESTAMPS 1:29 Politics, market & crypto intersect 5:10 ICO fail. But Why? 11:52 Are Stablecoins really safe? 17:15 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.

    212 - ETF flows return, Ethereum evolves, and the Ledger data breach

    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 🚀 **** TIMESTAMPS 1:27 Crypto ETF inflows early pump? 4:14 Vitalik hints at change 8:40 Breaking news - Ledger data breach!! 11:46 Short, sharp news bites **** SHOWNOTES Vitalik 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.

    Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast - our final for 2025! Today’s episode is a special one as our O.G crew is back together. 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.

    207 - Bitcoin Pullback, Aave's Big Move, and This Week in Crypto

    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?

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.
