The story so far
We were here before the hype.
In June 2016, one person with one camera started covering Ethereum and Bitcoin on YouTube. The DAO hack was days away, the Bitcoin halving was weeks away, and almost the whole world had yet to hear of either coin. A decade later the show is still running, the archive is coming home, and the site you're reading is the next chapter. Every video is real physical footage, shot on the ground as history happened. In an age of AI generated everything, authentic documentation of real events stands apart, and this archive holds ten years of it, including interviews with crypto legends: Roger Ver, Erik Voorhees, John McAfee (recorded shortly before he passed away), Richard Heart, Charlie Lee, and many more early tech founders. The show has always carried a simple creed: your keys, your coins, your life. This is how we got here.
June 2016 · The first broadcast
Episode 1: Ethereum News
The first episode covered Ethereum price targets and the first week of the Jaxx wallet. Days later the show was reporting on the DAO hack as it happened (Episode 12), then the Brexit price pump (Episode 16), then the July 9 Bitcoin halving (Episodes 6 and 23). Fifty episodes aired in the first two months, close to one every day.
Summer and fall 2016 · A daily habit
Crypt0's News finds its name
The show settled into a daily rhythm and took the name Crypt0's News. It covered the Steemit launch in July, ran an Ethereum birthday sweepstakes at Episode 50, and tracked Bitcoin's climb from $600 toward $1,000 by December. On November 23, 2016, crypt0snews.com was registered, giving the show its home on the web.
2017 · The world arrives
A bull run, documented live
Bitcoin broke $800, then $1,000, then its all time high, then $1,154, climbing toward $20,000 by December. Crypt0's News caught it all on camera: Episode 283 filmed Bitcoin passing its official all time high live, and Episode 279 sized up the best buys of 2017. Millions of new people discovered crypto that year, and the show's archive became a real time field guide to a full market cycle.
2018 to 2025 · The quiet years
The camera kept rolling
The channel kept publishing through bear markets and booms, through the DeFi summer, the NFT wave, and the ETF era, while the site waited for its second act. The conviction stayed exactly where it had always been: decentralized money will change the world, and it deserves honest coverage.
December 2025 · The archive comes home
Reuploading the journey
On December 19, 2025, the restoration began, in the show's own words: "I'm reuploading all of my content, so you can look forward to much more you may have missed. Here's to the journey so far... starting way back at the beginning, in 2016." Episode by episode the original broadcasts returned. 277 of 281 numbered episodes are back so far, on the way to a complete library of around 1,800 videos.
2026 · The rebuild
Back, and built to last
Crypt0's News returned in full: a brand new site with daily briefs, live markets, a community forum, and the deepest interactive Bitcoin price history on the independent web, every bitcoin price since 2009 with the stories behind the moves. The rebuild itself was logged and recorded on video: 266 videos published in 2026 alone, the relaunch unfolding alongside restored archive episodes returning to the channel, with the original domain next in line for its homecoming.
Why we tell this story
Crypto has a short memory and a long history. Every cycle, a new wave of people discovers Bitcoin at a new high and asks how we got here. We remember, because we were here, camera on, from the DAO hack to the halving to the $20,000 peak and beyond. Our mission is to make Crypt0's News the number one place people visit for crypto news and crypto history: today's headlines with yesterday's context, so every reader sees what happened and what it rhymes with. We cover this space as believers in the original promise: money beyond the reach of any state, speech beyond the reach of any censor, and tools that let free people coordinate on their own terms.
