191 - Eth Rises, $9B Bitcoin Exit & Craig's Final Forecast30 Jul 202500:30:36

In today's episode, we farewell one of the OG's of Crypto Curious. That's right, Craig is being cancelled!!! But before we get too misty-eyed, we're kicking off with something very on-brand for Craig: a bullish Ethereum update that might just make you want to double down. If you’ve been with us from the start, you’ll know Craig’s been waving the ETH flag since day one — so it’s only fitting.


Then, we dive into a bombshell from the deep pockets of Bitcoin history. One of the original Satoshi-era whales has just moved a jaw-dropping 80,000 BTC — that’s over $9 billion worth — and exited the market. What does it mean? We’ve got thoughts.


And finally, as Craig signs off from his regular spot on the pod, we turn the mic squarely on him. It’s time for a no-holds-barred hot seat moment: his predictions, market sentiment, and maybe even some long-hoarded alpha. This is Craig’s crystal ball episode🔮


Let's go 🚀

Bonus: Why the Reserve Bank is trialling a digital currency09 Mar 202300:18:32

Blake appeared on The Dive this week with Sascha to talk about the Reserve Bank - and their trial of the use of a central bank digital currency here in Australia.


The world is rapidly moving towards a cashless society – Cash was used for 59% of point-of-sale transactions in 2022, down from 72% in 2019. 

But in Australia less than 25% of transactions use cash, in the UK it’s just 15% and in Norway, only 3% of payment transactions are cash!

So our currency is basically digital already. So when the RBA announced plans to create a Central Bank Digital Currency our biggest question was… Why? Isn’t the Aussie Dollar pretty digital already?


So we set out to better understand this emerging world of Central Bank Digital Currencies or CBDC’s today.

63 - “2022: Boy, That Escalated Quickly!” The Year In Review w Special Guest Caroline Bowler21 Dec 202200:35:14

In this the final episode for the year Trace, Blake & Caroline (CEO of BTC Markets) look at the issues that shaped 2022. There were certainly some big media grabbing stories - Luna, FTX, and the contagion we are still seeing to this day. But not all of them were negative, no! There was also a great deal of positive news and sentiment wrapped up in 2022 but it was overshadowed by the actions of some bad actors. 


They reflect back on these stories and round out the episode by giving their thoughts on 2023.


This is the crew's final episode for 2022 as the little hamsters jump off the wheel for a well earned break. They’ll be back late January with an update on ALL the crypto news!
