 I keep flip flopping on the subject of Swan honestly. I don't use their service anymore nor am I on Twitter to listen to their daily show. So I really have no grounds to have beef with them. 

They're a Bitcoin only company supporting Bitcoin only creators, and I think that should be enough. They get embroiled in a lot of drama on purpose because that's how Cory runs his ship. People see the drama and get a negative vibe about Swan, but that's like believing Bitcoin FUD. The fundamentals don't change. 

Bitcoin-only is the signal. Plus Guy has the best ad reads for them in the whole space. 
 Their educational stuff is great & the way I see it we absolutely have to have stepping stones.

Milton Friedman & Thomas Sowell are far from agorists or ancaps, but I became an ancap about 6 months after finding Milton Friedman. He was an important bridge between worlds.

Swan is like a door out of the legacy financial system, we need as many of those as we can get IMO.
