Previous Episode
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.
