Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast!
👉🏼 This week, we’re kicking things off with one of the wildest Bitcoin stories we’ve heard in a while: a solo hobby miner who beat million-to-one odds and walked away with more than $266,000 USD in BTC.
👉🏼 We then shift gears into big industry news — Kraken’s new $20B valuation and their confidential filing for a U.S. IPO, a major signal that crypto companies are heading back toward public markets.
And we’re not flying solo today: Jonno is back as guest host. You loved him last time for his security insights, and this week he’s brought a real-world case study showing how blockchain analysis helped police bring down a criminal gang. It’s a fascinating look at how crypto is shaping modern investigations.
So, let’s get into it 🚀
