Interview with an Orange-pilled Financial Advisor
The financial advisory landscape is currently experiencing a monumental shift, which is going mostly unrecognized by those inside the industry. It’s a shift that will be happening to every industry, but since the shift we’re discussing here is from an easy, analog money to a sound, digital one, the money management industry is ground zero.
Bitcoin Price Prediction 2030 & 2040 (March 2024 Update)
Disclaimer: The Bitcoin price predictions below do not necessarily reflect the views of Swan Bitcoin. Back in 2009 when Bitcoin was first released, visionary cryptographer and Bitcoin pioneer Hal Finney boldly predicted that each Bitcoin could one day reach a staggering $10 million in value. Take a look at the screenshot below of Hal’s comment on January 10, 2009.
What is Bitcoin Hashrate?
Hashrate refers to the total combined computational power used to mine and process transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain. It represents the security, health, and strength of the network. TL; DR: Bitcoin miners provide hashrate, or computer power, which process transactions and secure the network. The more computers working on the network, the higher the hashrate, the more secure the network. All aspects are working in tandem together.
Bitcoin Cold Storage
With an electronic form of money that exists only in cyberspace, how could we ever be sure our private keys are secure from hacks and bad actors? TL; DR: While keeping Bitcoin on exchanges offers some protection, it also carries risks like potential hacks or legal issues, as seen with Mt. Gox and FTX. Cold storage is the most secure method, allowing users to have self-custody of their Bitcoin and control it through private keys, thus mitigating risks associated with exchanges.
A Bond Bloodbath is Spiking Heart Rates
In healthcare, a medical professional learns that an elevated resting heart rate is typically not a good sign, often indicating trouble brewing under the surface. It can occur for different reasons including cardiovascular disease, increased stress/anxiety, lack of sleep, smoking, as well as an adverse side-effect of several prescription medications. If left untreated, a high resting heart rate can lead to serious health complications such as heart attack, stroke, and even death.

Bitcoin Core’s Development Priorities in 2023
Developing for Bitcoin Core can be a difficult path. Developers often forgo high paying software engineering jobs in order to advance the state of bitcoin technology. Additionally, the long delivery cycles can be demotivating; it takes years of effort to get a large feature or upgrade merged into the code base. If the feature involves a consensus change then it must clear the almost impossibly high bar of a soft fork activation. But being a Bitcoin Core developer can be very rewarding as well.
Bitcoin Awakens from Its Summer Slumber
Skip to content This summer’s Bitcoin price action can be described as a yawn. After entering the summer with gusto following the excitement around BlackRock’s ETF filing, the price of Bitcoin has crawled sideways. Its 90-day rolling volatility recently hit its lowest level since 2016. Bloomberg described the Bitcoin market as one of “extreme apathy.” This drawn-out period of low volatility served as a coiled spring; the only question was in which direction the price would eventually break.
The Speed of Transactions vs the Speed of Settlements
From papyrus-based bills of exchange to double-entry booking and paper banknotes, the main purpose of banking was to enable transactions to move more quickly and frequently than the transportation and verification of physical gold would allow. Banking also allowed for the usage of more extensive credit systems, by allowing a third party (a money changer or a bank) to serve as a trusted intermediary between two non-trusting entities (buyers and sellers, or creditors and debtors).
The Right Questions to Ask to Avoid Bitcoin IRA Icebergs
The Swan IRA is a new way Americans can save in Bitcoin for their retirement. As a tax-advantaged IRS structure, the Swan IRA has a unique account structure with multiple layers of legal, regulatory, custodial, and institutional-grade security. These layers are unique to Swan, and provide what we believe is a good balance of simplicity, affordability, and regulatory compliance.
Hello. I Am Bitcoin.
Hello. I am Bitcoin. I am an artificial life form. That simply means I am man-made. I am a man-made, living being. Hi. Do not think of me as purely a machine though. I am not a machine. And I am much more than just a computer program. I survive. Like living beings, I am a process whose ongoing activity represents my ongoing survival. Unlike machines or programs, I don't just start and stop. I am a single, uninterrupted process that began on January 3rd, 2009. The process has been ongoing ever since.
Why a CBDC Will NOT Promote Financial Inclusion
Central banks around the world have been hard at work developing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). According to the Bank of International Settlements, 114 countries, representing over 95% of global GDP, are currently exploring a CBDC. (1) A retail CBDC would be a form of digital money that’s a liability of a central bank and is directly available to the public.
A New Separation of Powers
It sometimes helps to understand something altogether new, like Bitcoin, by starting with something you understand well, and then showing how the new thing differs. This article examines how Bitcoin pursues incorruptibility by comparing its differences to that of our government’s branches and how they were set up separately in an effort to resist corruption. People are fallible. We make mistakes. Sometimes, for personal gain, we also deceive.

Why Bitcoin Exists
This article is the first chapter from the book "Why Bitcoin?" What is the Purpose of Bitcoin? Why did anyone bother to create Bitcoin? What problems were they trying to solve? If you are new to the whole idea of a digital asset involving the mysterious field of cryptography, these are some questions that probably come to your mind. Before you get caught up in asking if you can “get rich quick” from Bitcoin, you should be asking if it has a deeper purpose.

GBTC was the Genesis of the Crypto Credit Contagion
This year has been a bloodbath in the broader cryptocurrency space. Leverage has carted off players from the field one after the other. One by one, we’ve seen crypto lenders and hedge funds, bodied and bloodied by the high-interest rate environment after taking on leverage like drunken sailors.
The FTX Fiasco and the Fallout to Come
As the world starts to learn about the truth behind FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried, the collapse of FTX comes as no surprise to many of the analysts and industry insiders who follow these markets closely. No, I personally didn’t expect FTX to be revealed as a full-blown Ponzi scheme, but I did question their business practices and actively recommended that people not use FTX. The idea that this FTX fiasco was not foreseeable is simply not true. The signs were there.
Proof of God
(If reading this aloud to someone I recommend whispering "Close your eyes" before starting, and do make sure they reopen them when you say "open your eyes" at the third line). You want to see proof of God? Witness then these miracles. Open your eyes. Look around. See existence. See creation. Orderly. Beautiful. Expansive. Your open eyes alone let you witness The miracle of creation. The miracle of existence itself. Aware of being a being. Awareness of being alive. Witness the miracle of life.
Why Selling Some Bitcoin at a Loss Can Maximize Your Hodling Potential
In my latest conversations with private clients, the number one question I get asked is about tax loss harvesting (TLH). TLH is best thought of as purposefully selling an investment you bought that is currently below your purchase price to lock in a capital loss on your taxes.

History Happens Right Before Your Eyes
This is an opinion editorial by Tomer Strolight, editor-in-chief of Swan Bitcoin and author of “Why Bitcoin.” History is neither merely what happened hundreds of years ago, nor only wars and human catastrophes. If you zoom out just a bit, you can see that history happens all the time. Our civilization, our culture, our technology and even we ourselves are changing — influenced by megatrends that shape all humanity. Changes often happen fast, but their imprint remains.

Proof of Work vs. Proof of Stake
The claim that proof of stake is in any way at all an improvement over proof of work misses the entire point of what Bitcoin was created to do. Bitcoin pioneered an entirely new way of governing a system of money. It is called “Proof-of-Work.” Lately, the press and ‘crypto’ communities have made claims that they have a better alternative called “Proof of Stake.” We’ll be exploring what proof-of-work actually does in as easy a manner as we possibly can.
To Try or Not to Try?
There are questions you can't answer until - well - until after you've answered them. I don't mean for that to sound cute. I mean that it applies to some very simple questions like "I've never had blue cheese. Will I like it?" You simply can't answer the question until you've actually tried blue cheese. Its taste, and whether you enjoy it or not, will always be a mystery to you until you've actually gone ahead and tried it.
Plastic Money
In 1968, four Vice Presidents of modest regional banks emerged from the Altamira Hotel on the hillside of insignificant Sausalito, California, unshaved and unshowered, with a set of beliefs, ideas, and principles that would change the world of money. Postcard from Alta Mira hotel circa 1968.
5 Reasons Why All Bitcoiners Should Attend a Bitcoin Conference
Ever wonder why Bitcoin conferences are so popular? If you talk to someone who has attended one of these industry events, they all typically elaborate on the overwhelming sense community. Bitcoiners love meeting Bitcoiners. We are here to share our optimism for the future and the role of sound money.
Bitcoin: Too Good To Be False
There is a famous saying which goes: “If something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.” It is meant as a warning that people make exaggerated claims to the point of falsehood, and even deception. However, this saying suggests something more. It implies that there is some maximum to the potential goodness of a thing, and that exceeding that limit is impossible.
Swan Acquires Specter Solutions
We are extremely excited to announce our acquisition of Specter Solutions, a leader in self-custody solutions for Bitcoiners.

Bitcoin and the U.S. Debt Problem
Houston, we have a debt problem. The U.S. federal debt-to-GDP currently sits at 124%, after peaking at 136% in 2020. These are the highest debt levels in the United States since World War II. Federal Debt: Total Public Debt as Percent of Gross Domestic Product This is a problem because when debt reaches excessive levels like this, it starts to become a drag on economic growth.

4 Initial Takeaways from the 2022 Global Crypto Adoption Index
This week, Chainalysis released some of its preliminary findings from its annual Global Crypto Adoption Index report. It is perhaps the most extensive report each year that attempts to measure what jurisdictions around the world are seeing the highest volumes of cryptocurrency adoption. Overall, cryptocurrency adoption has slowed slightly from last year, which is to be expected given the recent price action.
The Legendary Treasure of Satoshi Nakamoto
Money has not generally been regarded as having anything to do with journeys into the non-material realm of the spirit. It is generally believed to belong to the material world - it can buy certain things. But it cannot buy friendship, love, intelligence, or the answers to deep and eternal questions about the mysteries of the universe. In fact, money is accused of leading people away from these. This, however, takes us to the curious matter of Bitcoin.
The Euro: A Train That’s Running Out of Track
In the late 1980s, a group of European central bank governors was asked by the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) to serve on a committee to study the future economic and monetary union of Europe. This committee would be named after its chairman, Jacques Delors. It involved 17 members, including the president of the Bundesbank, the governor of the Bank of England, and the BIS General Manager at the time, Alexandre Lamfalussy.
Bitcoin, Bitcoiners, Truth, Beauty And Love
This is an opinion editorial by Tomer Strolight, editor-in-chief of Swan Bitcoin and author of “Why Bitcoin.” I dropped into a Twitter Spaces the other afternoon focused on Bitcoin. In it were at least a dozen grown men talking about how much they loved, appreciated and admired everything about Bitcoin. Over a hundred others were listening in. The speakers compared Bitcoin to the greatest discoveries and inventions in all history — some even saying it was clearly the greatest.
The Blocksize War’s Cyber-Soldier Freedom-Fighters
This is an opinion editorial by Tomer Strolight, editor-in-chief of Swan Bitcoin and author of “Why Bitcoin.” Part 1: Introduction Words. How do you describe with words the things that we don’t have words for? Words describe things we’re familiar with. But we’ve never seen anything like Bitcoin before. That’s why it’s so hard to describe it. So we use metaphors, which are still just old words for other things.
Beautiful Bitcoin
Beautiful Nature The sun comes up. There's not a cloud in the sky. It's gonna be a beautiful day. The birds chirp. The flowers open. Forest creatures scurry about. It's beautiful. Nature is beautiful. The beautiful sun shines its beautiful energy as warm, beautiful light on the beautiful Earth. And beautiful life, beautifully, comes alive. On Earth, in the glowing radiance of the sun, beautiful variety blossoms. The trees grow tall. The herbs spread across the forest floor. The grasses take the plains.

Swan Product Principles and the Third Rail
Satoshi’s quote is a reference to how product, and Bitcoin, is incrementally developed over time, and infers how multiple features and entire products are prioritized and released. Like Bitcoin’s open-source community and consensus protocol, Swan’s Product Principles builds on these ideas and applies them in a private company context. Sister Kraus’ quote comes from the nonprofit world, emphasizing the forever tension of mission and margin.
