  • 208 - Solo Miner Jackpot, Kraken’s $20B Play & Jonno’s Big Case Study
    Nov 26 2025

    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 🚀

  • 207 - Bitcoin Pullback, Aave's Big Move, and This Week in Crypto
    Nov 19 2025

    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 🚀
