Welcome to the Crypto Curious podcast, brought to you weekly by the Bamboo App.

This week we’re looking at how power in crypto is shifting, from social platforms to billionaire investors, to policymakers.

👉🏼 First up, Elon Musk is turning X into something that looks a lot like a live trading terminal — with crypto and stocks embedded directly into your feed. What happens when speculation sits inside the world’s biggest attention machine?

👉🏼 Then we unpack Mike Novogratz’s comment that “the age of speculation is over”, what he really meant, and whether crypto is actually maturing or just resetting.

👉🏼 And finally, we head to Canberra, where serious conversations are taking place about a potential Australian Bitcoin reserve. Blake was in the room — and we’re joined again by Jonno Newman to help break down what this could mean locally and globally.

Let's get into it! 🚀
