Café Bitcoin is Back | 1 of 50

Cafe Bitcoin returns for 50 Days for Bitcoin — Day 1 of 50.

Cory Klippsten reboots the daily Cafe Bitcoin show to kick off Swan's 50 Days for Bitcoin campaign: 50 basis point buy fees for 50 days (July 21 to September 8), daily weekday Spaces at 10:00 AM ET, and a return to the education-first roots that built the Bitcoin community on Clubhouse in 2020-2021.

In this episode:

• 50 Days for Bitcoin launch: Swan cuts its buy fee in half to 50 bps for 50 days, the lowest-cost way to buy Bitcoin into self-custody in the US. Over 80% of the Bitcoin ever bought on Swan is in self-custody.
• "The Battle for Monetary Independence": Cory's new essay, woven around his grandfather's war journal from the USS Yorktown in the Pacific Theater. Political independence was the founders' great work; monetary independence is ours. Read it at swan.com/battle.
• The Clubhouse origin story: how Cafe Bitcoin started, the invite tree that flooded Clubhouse with thousands of Bitcoiners, how Swan Private and Anchor Watch grew out of those rooms.
• The freedom backslide: UK under-16 social media ban, the Utah VPN ban, age verification for AI chatbots, EU chat control, and the digital euro. Why the counter to all of it is self-custody.
• Dollar merchants: how stablecoins turned more than half the industry into dollar salesmen, and why the dollar is not a gateway drug to Bitcoin.
• Saifedean's cocktail party problem: why socialism is winning arguments right now, and why the answer is opting out of politics entirely and building on Bitcoin.
• Self-custody, the full stack: free auto-withdrawal with locally derived addresses, Swan Sovereign guided self-custody, Swan Vault collaborative custody, and Swan Safe segregated custody.
• Community: Pacific Bitcoin memories, BIP-47 paynyms explained, Bobby Burnett's new show for the older generation, the no-BIP-fights house rule, and the Snow Crash reading club pick.
