TD₿: Bitcoin: An Idea Whose Time Has Come! - (a Swan original series) with Dante Cook
TL;DR: Bitcoin and the ideas behind it might revolutionize more than money or economics. It's an idea powerful enough to change how we 'people' with each other.
Hey Bitcoiners,
The world's most groundbreaking ideas always seem crazy at first. They often require looking foolish for a while, but having faith in your convictions and sticking through this phase is the price of admission for massive wins.
In this episode, Dante looks at what we can learn from the world's greatest hedge fund manager and his trading algorithm to inform why Bitcoin will have outsized returns going forward?
And why do Jack Dorsey, and many others believe Bitcoin will be worth 1 Million dollars per coin by 2030?
Bitcoin is not just an idea, but a disruptive force that is reshaping the global financial landscape. Its success is not a matter of if, but when. Bitcoin is an idea whose time has come, and this inevitability is what makes it a compelling investment opportunity.
Enjoy!

Job of the Day
The Company
Swan is a leading Bitcoin-only financial services company supporting individuals and companies throughout their Bitcoin journey. We hire passionate Bitcoiners who want to work with a self-motivated and fully distributed startup team.
The Role
Last year, Swan announced the intent to launch a Bitcoin-only trust company. Now, we are working toward building a pipeline of highly qualified individuals to help us lead this company.
The trust company will embark on the mission of onboarding the world’s Bitcoin-only clients ranging from wealth managers, family offices, institutions, and beyond while innovating in Bitcoin-only custody initiatives such as multi-institutional custody and other new forms of collaborative and conditional custody enabled by Bitcoin native technology.
The company will maintain complete legal separation from Swan, and have its own management structure separate from Swan, while having the benefit of access to Swan’s broader resources (with more than 170 employees overall).
We are seeking an experienced Chief Operating Officer (COO) (or Director of Operations, depending on experience) to lead the operational aspects of the trust company. This early hire will play a pivotal role in building, developing, overseeing, and optimizing the operations of the trust company. This leadership position requires a seasoned operations professional with a deep understanding of fiduciary services, regulatory compliance, and a proven track record of driving operational excellence.
This is a startup-phase tech company role that must balance the fast paced needs of a startup with the regulatory and risk needs of a trust company managing billions of dollars in AUC. The ideal candidate will have experience in rapidly changing high growth environments, be comfortable with wearing many hats, and be able to rapidly jump levels from hands-on review of new initiatives, to vendor selection, to conversations with management and regulators.
