There are two ways to invest in Bitcoin, losing your mind trying to time the market (this is my personal opinion) or slow, steady, and much more relaxing with dollar-cost averaging.
After attempting to do the first one and failing miserably, I went for dollar-cost averaging and finally learned to relax.
Swan Bitcoin was set-up to set it and forget it, and we had the honor of chatting with the founder, Cory Klippsten.
In this episode, we chatted all things Swan and jumping into the long game of Bitcoin investing. We also got the inside scoop on what's to come for this amazing company and the various features they will be rolling out this year and next!

If you've listened to any other episode of Clarifying Crypto, you know Gary and I both love Bitcoin and a close second behind that is the Fold App! This is the perfect app for those who are looking to get their feet wet in Bitcoin, in addition to those who love Bitcoin and are looking to accumulate more any way they can.
We were honored to have Fold's Founder, Will Reeves on our show this week to discuss the app. We talked about what has happened in the year that they've launched, the evolution of the app (and why it's exciting you can still earn FREE money). We also talked about the highly anticipated debit card that is arriving any day now.
I can tell you, we've been learning about what's coming down the pipeline with this card, and it is going to be an AH-MAZING rewards card! Plus what's on the horizon for 2021 for this company.

Gary and I were honored to have @MsHodl, aka Justine join us on this episode of Clarifying Crypto. Justine is a force on Bitcoin Twitter, and is someone very open about sharing her journey into Bitcoin.
We talked about the tipping point that made Justine finally decide to jump in, the learning curve of Bitcoin, building nodes, and so much more in this episode.
Hopefully, this makes you realize that it’s time to finally jump in, if you’ve been sitting on the sidelines because all three of us are fully in this without a technical background.

In this episode:
BitBlockBoom - held in August 2020 in Dallas, TX was a great conference focused on the Bitcoin Maximalist and featured speakers from all over the world. Gary is the founder and organizer of this event, and he talked about some of the ins and outs of putting on a successful event in the middle of the pandemic.
And as great as all of the speakers were, the truly great part of the event was being able to connect with other Bitcoiners at the various dinners, brunches, and other networking events.
Some of the talks that I loved during the event:
Multisig wallets - Why you need to consider them, and the important facts to know about them for the future - Will Cole - https://twitter.com/willcole
Robert Breedlove’s discussion about Masters and Slaves of Money —> https://twitter.com/Breedlove22
Gradually, then Suddenly (the demise of the US Dollar) - Parker Lewis - https://twitter.com/parkeralewis
Jeff Vandrew’s - An overview of US Taxation of Bitcoin - Jeff is also the guy who helps with setting up IRA’s with Bitcoin. (see below for info)

Recorded in April of 2020, we discussed how Bitcoin is showing to be on pace to simulate the huge increases we say back in 2017, which was a year after the last halving. Approximately every four years the number of Bitcoin miners are rewarded, divides in half.
The last one was 2016, and we saw one in May 2020. So could it possibly see increases as big as 2000% (it's happened twice before). So buckle up because between the economy situation 2020 has created plus the halving, we might riding a pretty crazy roller coaster!
