228 - BTC Goes Green And A Blockchain Just Rewound

Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast brought to you by the Bamboo App - the easiest way to start investing small amounts in crypto!👉🏼 This week we’re kicking off with Bitcoin, which is quietly putting together its strongest month in over a year, up 13% in April. After everything we’ve seen over the past few months, the question now is: what’s actually driving this move, and is it sustainable?👉🏼 Then we head to Washington, where more than 120 crypto firms, including Coinbase and Ripple have drawn a line in the sand, urging the US Senate to finally act on the CLARITY Act. It’s being framed as a “now or never” moment for regulation… and the outcome could shape the next phase of the industry globally.👉🏼 And finally, a story that’s raised some serious eyebrows. Litecoin effectively rewound its own blockchain, erasing 13 blocks and rolling back around three hours of history after a zero-day exploit hit its privacy layer. Blockchains aren’t supposed to do that… so what does it actually mean when one does?So, let’s get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS2:10 BTC goes green!4:34 120 crypto companies sign a joint letter - but saying what?7:57 Litecoin did something that blockchains are fundamentally not supposed to do!
