244 - From $69K Bitcoin to 1 Million Downloads

This is not a normal week...Because Crypto Curious has just hit 1 million downloads — and you can't have a celebration like that without getting the gang back together.

So joining us this week is the one and only Craig Jackson, our original partner in crypto, who was here for more than half of the almost five years we've been making this show.

👉🏼 We launched Crypto Curious in November 2021, right as Bitcoin hit its then all-time high of $69,000. Then came Terra Luna, Celsius, FTX, the NFT boom and bust, Bitcoin ETFs, two halvings, Trump Coin, the $1.5 billion Bybit hack... and somehow, through all of it, you lot kept downloading the show...1 million times.

So before we get into this week's news, we're going to take a moment to look back at the wild ride that got us here — and then, naturally, get stuck straight back into the madness.

👉🏼 Because this week we've got a $6.4 billion crypto deal falling apart, Bybit taking North Korea to court over the biggest crypto hack in history, and Tether moving into Saudi Arabian real estate.

Not bad for a comeback episode.

Let's get into it 🚀
