Today, Tracey & Craig are joined by guest host Louise MacFarlane, Customer Success Manager at Easy Crypto and the fearless leader of the AUS/NZ Crypto Women’s group on Facebook.


We ALL hit the ground running, diving straight into the shocking arrest of Telegram founder Pavel Durov in France. What does this mean for privacy and freedom of speech in the digital age? We’ll explore the implications and what this could signal for the future of secure communication platforms. Next, we’ll shift gears to Binance, where new CEO Richard Teng is making waves with a bold 100-year vision for the company. What does this mean for the future of crypto? We’ll unpack the latest developments and what it could mean for investors and the broader crypto ecosystem. And before we get into all that, we’ll kick things off by examining the recent surge in Bitcoin’s price. Major political and economic shifts have sparked this rise—could this be a sign of things to come?


Stay tuned as we delve into these stories and what they mean for you.
