Crypto Curious

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.

And in a landmark move, an Aussie court rules Bitcoin is officially money, reshaping tax conversations and turning heads around the globe.

Whether you’re stacking sats or just crypto-curious, we’ve got the takes you don’t want to miss. Let’s get into it. 🚀

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.

Crypto Curious is back this week with a VERY special guest… She’s been making people laugh through every bear market…the queen of crypto comedy and founder of Web3 Is A Joke – welcome, Mona!

First up, the notorious Lazarus Group and Kim Jong Un were spotted popping bottles in Ibiza—because apparently, laundering billions just isn’t thrilling enough without a beachfront DJ set.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin maxi Michael Saylor has stunned the crypto world by—brace yourself—buying Ethereum. That’s right, the man who put “laser eyes” in his LinkedIn bio just aped into ETH.

In corporate news, Ripple is making waves—literally. They’ve just acquired Trojan Condoms. Why? We have no idea, but let’s hope their liquidity stays as strong as their protection.

And finally, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has returned from Turkey with… a full head of hair. That’s right—crypto winter might still be dragging on, but Brian’s hairline? Bull market confirmed.

Buckle up—it’s April Fools', and nothing is as it seems. Let’s get into it!
