No idea why; just search his post history for Swan mentions. Magoo and Stoney - blind hate. I get it; centralized exchanges are no good; but Swan is a bit different because they do remind and educate their users on the importance of self-custody quite very regularly. I just see a company dealing with a ton of fiat bullshit in the effort to get Bitcoin into the hands of plebs in $10+ sizes. Swan also makes sure your Bitcoin held in balance is linked to a legal Trust, in your name. Bankruptcy proof, not perfect, but is unique in the space.
Yeah, agreed. I don't know what more they could do to be good actors; and more than that, seems like Cory really gets it, and is doing a lot of the long-term strategy, e.g., education, conferences, assorted other outreach, creating their own custodian, doing the PR to separate btc from other crypto, coalition-building, etc.
That stuff, in the final analysis, will have more to do w/ whether btc is successful on a 5 year vs a 50 year timescale than anything I can think of. I don't even agree with a lot of it --- I find the podcasts unlistenable, and the excerpts from the conferences I've seen overwhelm me with Get Jesus energy -- but there are a million ways to contribute and there's no denying that Swan is going hard at a number of them.
