202 - $19 Billion Gone: From Bloodbath to Blockchain
Description
Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast — your weekly dive into the fast-moving world of crypto, where we break down what’s happening, why it matters, and what it means for you.
If you’re new to crypto, make sure you check out our early episodes for the basics — they’ll give you a solid foundation before we take you into the deep end.
👉🏼 This week on the show: the October 11 Crypto Crash — the $19 billion bloodbath that sent shockwaves through the market, and the hidden Binance flaw that helped fuel it.
👉🏼 Plus, Swift — yes, the banking giant that moves trillions a day — just entered the blockchain game. But not in the way you think.
We’ve got a massive week to unpack 👇🏼, so let’s get into it 🚀

Welcome! I was in your exact position just a couple of months ago. What helped me was finding a guide written specifically for the current landscape—things have changed a lot even since 2023 with new regulations and payment methods. I followed this really clear, step-by-step walkthrough on how to buy your first crypto with Paybis in 2025. It breaks down everything from creating an account and verifying your identity to choosing the right payment method and actually making that first purchase. The best part is it explains what to expect in terms of fees and processing times, which saved me a lot of anxiety. Here's the link: https://bmmagazine.co.uk/business/how-to-buy-your-first-crypto-with-paybis-in-2025/
Alright, I've finally decided to stop just reading about crypto and actually buy some, but I'm feeling completely lost. Every guide I find seems outdated, and I'm worried about high fees or picking the wrong platform. For someone starting from zero in 2025, what's the simplest and safest way to make that first purchase without getting overwhelmed?
