Welcome back to the Crypto Curious podcast — brought to you by the Bamboo App.

We'll get straight into it - this week’s episode is all about conviction — who really has it, who thinks they do, and what happens when the market pushes back.

👉🏼 We start with Bitcoin sliding lower as markets react to Donald Trump’s pick for the next US Federal Reserve Chair, and why macro and liquidity still matter more than most people like to admit.

👉🏼 Then we look at MicroStrategy, which continues to buy Bitcoin aggressively — even as ETF flows cool — and what that tells us about long-term conviction versus short-term positioning.

👉🏼 And finally, we unpack one of the wildest cautionary tales of the year: a so-called “Trump insider” with a perfect trading record who gets completely wiped out — and the uncomfortable lessons that creates around leverage, confidence, and copy-trading.

Whether you’re new to crypto or deep in the weeds, this is an episode about understanding risk, behaviour, and what actually matters when markets get uncomfortable.

Let's get into it! 🚀
