Welcome back to the Crypto Curious. This week it's just Trace & Blake, as Craig is sunning himself in Europe! But we have two mega stories to cover along with a raft of killer short, sharp news bites.

The Bitcoin community is buzzing as Ross Ulbricht—yes, that Ross from Silk Road—makes a dramatic return to the spotlight. We’ll unpack the surprising wave of support he’s getting.

And then, the jaw-dropping story of James Wynn: the trader who turned $100 million into just $23… live, in front of the entire crypto world.

Stick around—this one’s wild.

This week, Bitcoin blasts past all-time highs—but this isn’t your usual bull run. Something feels different, and we’re breaking it down.

Then: $223 million vanishes from Sui in its first major crisis—what went wrong and what it means for the ecosystem.

Meanwhile, stablecoins are flexing their muscles—from Capitol Hill to Stripe checkouts, they’re everywhere.

Welcome back to Crypto Curious — the podcast that helps you navigate the wild world of crypto, without the jargon or the hype. Today we’ve got a guest who truly needs no introduction… but we’ll give him one anyway.

This week, we’re joined by one of the biggest names in crypto YouTube — Ben Cowen, the brains behind Into The Cryptoverse. If you're a fan of data-driven insights, market cycles, and the occasional spicy Ethereum take, then you already know Ben’s work. His no-nonsense, stats-first approach has earned him a global following — and a reputation as one of the sharpest minds in the game.

In today’s episode, we dive into Ben’s journey from academia to analytics, how he grew his YouTube empire, and what he really thinks about where the market's headed. We’re talking Bitcoin dominance, altcoin cycles, macro factors, and yes — we’ll be asking why he’s been giving Ethereum such a hard time lately.

So whether you're deep in the weeds of crypto or just crypto-curious — this is one you don’t want to miss.

**Ben shares his screen during this episode and whilst you won't 'miss' anything, you can jump onto Youtube to get the full experience.
