Your bitcoin keys are only as strong as the entropy used to create them.
That's why Swan Vault is built on @BlockstreamJade.
Swan Co-founder @skwp breaks down the full architecture, from key generation to 2-of-3 custody:

Real inflation is worse than what the government is reporting.
U.S. M2: +396%
Consumer prices: +96%
The money supply has nearly quintupled in 26 years.
Bitcoin’s terminal supply is still 21 million.
One system expands by policy.
The other enforces scarcity by code.

Brace yourselves 😅
Bitcoin’s drawdowns are getting shallower.
Deepest drawdown by halving epoch:
93.1% → 84.9% → 83.4% → 76.7% → 53.1% so far.
Volatility remains. The pattern is changing.

The hype cycle will flat out lie to you about what actually builds success.
I just went through Cory Klippsten’s latest piece for today's Read. It’s a sobering reminder framed around his grandfather's WWII journal. Real freedom means grinding through the bear markets when no one cares, not just riding the bull market high and asking institutional gatekeepers for validation.

"By 2000 there will be a realistic, scientific accounting system of wealth. Wealth is energy. Energy cannot be created nor lost. Wealth is not going to deteriorate or get lost. This is a great way of thinking about all the economics." - Buckminster Fuller on Bitcoin

Money is a pillar of our civilization - and the nature of the money has profound effects on the nature of the civilization.
Bitcoin is freedom money.
We're tasked with fighting for it.
Zero fees on your first test buy of up to $250 on @Swan, so you can try it out.
After that, 0.5% on all buys, THE most bitcoin for your buck in the USA!
"Bitcoin is the fastest horse in the race." - Cory Klippsten
The rest of the century is a race between dollars, treasuries, gold, and Bitcoin.

The separation of Money and State remains the most important fight of our Age.
As the #FourthTurning# converges with the exponential build-out of the Digital Age, now is the time for the plebs to claim the creation and control of money, away from the over-powerful nation states.
#Bitcoin# is the soundest and fairest money that allows the common man and woman to exchange value for value.
It is the Blue Collar Dollar.
It is the only real money that is Of the People, By the People, For the People.
It will incentivize humans to work with each other and build a better world, rather than fighting with each other and destroying the world.
This is worth fighting for.

The $900 Trillion Escape into Bitcoin!
Humanity has stuffed trillions into houses, stocks, bonds, gold, and financial claims because fiat money became a terrible place to store the future.
@AdamBLiv explores the estimated $900 trillion monetary premium now facing a radically scarce competitor: Bitcoin.
Twenty-one million coins. Global settlement. No issuer, no dilution, no emergency committee discovering another trillion dollars behind the couch.
The escape happens one balance sheet at a time:

@Swan Just fyi, to anyone who hasn't listened to this episode, was pretty good.

@CorySwan is back on the show to talk adoption, narratives and bringing back the bitcoin bull market!

Cory Klippsten, on @saifedean's show, on real Bitcoin, in self-custody, that you never need permission to hold.
Real Bitcoin is freedom money. So for 50 days, we cut our buy fee in half, from 1.00% to 0.50%.
More freedom money, in more hands.

WOW: Since July 2020, Bitcoin has stripped roughly 30% per year from the S&P 500’s and gold’s value.
Yes, this is even AFTER a 50% Bitcoin drawdown.
Price the S&P 500 and gold in Bitcoin, then calculate their rolling 4-year moving averages to crush the cycle noise.
Since July 2020:
S&P 500 (SPY): −87.95%
Gold: −89.03%
Compounded annual decay:
SPY: −29.72% per year
Gold: −30.81% per year
The market celebrated nominal all-time highs while the four-year average BTC value of stocks and gold was quietly crushed by nearly 90%.
This isn’t a cherry-picked spot comparison. It is six years of the old financial world being continuously repriced against harder money:

There are ~60 million millionaires in the world.
There will only ever be 21 million Bitcoin.
And only about 1 million addresses hold a whole coin. That number has stopped growing.
Most millionaires will never own one. You still can.
