 Ever since I left Twitter, stopped using Swan services, curated my podcasts down to the highest signal ones, I very, very rarely hear about Swan. Which is weird considering they're supposed to be one of the biggest bitcoin-only exchanges. Maybe it really is mostly a marketing front for a shady fiat business. 
 They are just a sales wrapper around one of the scammiest companies in the business and blow a bunch of smoke up everyone's asses 
 Yeah, in hindsight, that's a good way to describe them. 

This might be messed up, but I also thought it was really odd that Yan was literally the only Jew I've ever seen stick around in the Bitcoin space. 
 Noticing and keeping track of who is Jewish or nit is pretty weird I'll give ya that....

I don't think many fully appreciate you can simply send "cash" to any ln invoice/address with Strike and you never bought bitcoin. Just says "strike" on bank statement

 Requires KYC/AML, right?

 Yes it is. But if comparing swan to strike  
 That’s how I do it! instantly sent to my LN node before it even clears my checking account and the spread/fees seem fair
