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 🚀TIMESTAMPS3:30 ETH flipping?7:57 80,000 BTC sold off.

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.*****Show notes (this episode contains 15% off Ben's Into The Cryptoverse subscription).Ben Cowen Into the Cryptoverse - YouTubeTwitter / XWebsite****You can sign up for our Equity Mates Crypto Newsletter here****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.
