What does a week without a new Patrick Boyle video look like? This time, it brought more than a million views and a growing subscriber count, even as the channel's daily viewing fell well below its usual level.
"The Binance Hack Isn't Funny!" accounts for most of the viewing currently flowing to the channel. Posted just before this week's window, it has reached roughly 1.3 million views. Boyle follows the mechanics of the theft through fake job interviews, compromised coding tools and permissions signed without sufficient scrutiny. The video includes a sponsored segment.
Its financial question is bigger than cybersecurity: what happens to the promise of decentralized money when companies have to intervene to stop stolen funds moving? Boyle's answer is characteristically pointed, arguing that crypto has recreated some of the centralized structures it set out to replace.
AI supplies the other substantial threads. "Anthropic Opened Its Books. What Is It Really Worth?" examines the difference between accounting losses, operating results and enormous computing commitments. "Elon Musk's Power Plant on Wheels" connects data-center opposition with the investors carrying the construction risk.
Among nearby finance channels, Your Rich BFF had a busier week for views, while CNBC International and The Plain Bagel were quieter. Boyle's subscriber gain came entirely within this past week, accounting for all of his net growth over the month.
