Crypto Curious

I’m Blake, and this week we’re joined by crypto educator and coach Will Wright — better known online as @cryptocoachwill — who’s built a strong following helping everyday people actually understand this space, instead of just chasing headlines and memes.And honestly… this week feels like one of those moments where crypto starts looking a lot more mature than people expected.Bitcoin has just had its biggest week of the year, briefly touching $82,000 for the first time since January before cooling off again. We’ll unpack what actually drove the move, why the rally stalled where it did, and whether this is the beginning of a bigger market shift… or just another short-term burst of optimism.Then we get into one of the more fascinating stories we’ve seen in a while. After last month’s massive $292 million Kelp DAO exploit, the DeFi ecosystem has somehow managed to coordinate a $320 million rescue effort for affected Aave users — and the story now reportedly includes a bizarre legal twist involving North Korea.And finally, BlackRock is doubling down on blockchain in a very serious way. The world’s largest asset manager has just filed for two brand new tokenised funds with the SEC, adding even more fuel to the rapidly growing real-world asset sector — a market that’s already pushing past $30 billion.Let's get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS4:50 BTC touches $82k8:05 Aave $320 million rescue package15:13 Blackrock bringing two more funds to the Ethereum blockchain19:31 Short, sharp news bites****SHOWNOTESWill Wright Linkedin@cryptocoachwillSign up for the Crypto Curious Newsletter💥 Have you downloaded Bamboo’s 2026 Crypto Market Report? 💥****If you’re enjoying these episodes please subscribe to our podcast on your preferred platform, leave a review, or share this episode with a friend or family member.If you want to start investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold & Silver, you can download the Bamboo app here.

This week… crypto feels like it’s being pulled in three completely different directions at once.👉🏼 We’re starting with Meta — yes, Meta — quietly stepping back into crypto, four years after the Libra collapse. This time, it’s not a grand announcement or a new coin… it’s stablecoin payments to creators, flying a lot lower under the radar — and surprisingly, regulators aren’t pushing back.👉🏼 Then we head into Bitcoin territory, where a proposed hard fork called “eCash” has reignited one of the oldest tensions in crypto — who actually gets to decide the rules? Especially when the plan involves reassigning Satoshi’s coins on a new chain… and the community is not taking it lightly.👉🏼 And finally, a reminder that while some doors are opening, others are closing fast. Brazil has just banned crypto for cross-border payments — a move that’s less about technology, and more about control over money in one of the world’s largest emerging economies.So, let’s get into it 🚀****TIMESTAMPS2:22 Redemption arc for Meta6:26 Hard forking eCash in August?10:50 Brazil officially ban the use of crypto for cross-border payments13:55 Short, sharp news bites****SHOWNOTESSign up for the Crypto Curious Newsletter💥 Have you downloaded Bamboo’s 2026 Crypto Market Report? 💥****If you’re enjoying these episodes please subscribe to our podcast on your preferred platform, leave a review, or share this episode with a friend or family member.If you want to start investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Gold & Silver, you can download the Bamboo app here.

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!
