This is the first of our 'What Crypto Did' episodes, where we talk about the latest news stories that have been filling your feeds over the past few weeks. We kick off with the biggest story that has been dominating the news lately, the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Cryptocurrency has been catapulted into the spotlight as a result of the invasion, with the humanitarian aid fund Relief receiving over $50 million worth of donations in cryptocurrency. Then Tracey brings the bizarre story of the alleged Bitfinex hackers, an unknown writer and rapper Heather Morgan (AKA Razzle Khan) and her husband Elya Lichtenstein. We go over the crypto ads that aired during the superbowl and Tracey discusses Twitter's integration of Ethereum for tipping fellow users on the platform.

21 - How Australia Plans to Adopt Crypto - Interview w/ Senator Bragg
March 13, 2022
•28m
Senator Bragg oversaw the Australian Crypto Report that was published in October last year, which included 12 recommendations to tackle key issues in the crypto sector. As a result, he was listed in Cointelegraph's top 100 most influential list of 2022 at position 82 globally. He first got into cryptocurrency when he was asked to chair an inquiry into the fintech industry in Australia. In the process, he came to the conclusion that they needed to do a bigger body of work focused solely on cryptocurrency alone. Here he talks to Tracey and Blake about what he thinks Australia should to do establish itself as a cryptocurrency world-leader.
