Welcome back to the Crypto Curious. This week it's just Trace & Blake, as Craig is sunning himself in Europe! But we have two mega stories to cover along with a raft of killer short, sharp news bites.
The Bitcoin community is buzzing as Ross Ulbricht—yes, that Ross from Silk Road—makes a dramatic return to the spotlight. We’ll unpack the surprising wave of support he’s getting.
And then, the jaw-dropping story of James Wynn: the trader who turned $100 million into just $23... live, in front of the entire crypto world.
Stick around—this one’s wild.

This week, Bitcoin blasts past all-time highs—but this isn’t your usual bull run. Something feels different, and we’re breaking it down.
Then: $223 million vanishes from Sui in its first major crisis—what went wrong and what it means for the ecosystem.
Meanwhile, stablecoins are flexing their muscles—from Capitol Hill to Stripe checkouts, they’re everywhere.
And in a landmark move, an Aussie court rules Bitcoin is officially money, reshaping tax conversations and turning heads around the globe.
Whether you’re stacking sats or just crypto-curious, we’ve got the takes you don’t want to miss. Let’s get into it. 🚀
