He is also DMing people to discourage engagement with the meme. 🤦♂️

I actually used to be a fan of Swan and mentioned to various noobs in early 2021 on Clubhouse when I didn't know any better because I figured it was better than a shitcoin casino hitting their inbox constantly with scams.
I could keep going with more details on how and why my opinion of them changed (I authored the Bitcoin Magazine piece on their November spread spikes), but not trying to make this about me, just trying to show that there was a time I had a better view of Cory and Swan, and accumulating data shifted my opinion... as I think has been the case for many people.
Even if the meme was not a perfect factual representation, memes are not a court of law. A business that is so tethered to its cult of personality admits it has no value -- Swan is not just a GUI wrapper on APIs, they are a lousy one that does not even have enough engineering hires (and you shouldn't need many) to have built basic functionality those APIs supported such as pseudo-limit market-if-touched orders.
I got into Bitcoin for the FIXING OF THINGS. I will accept nothing than the greatness and the nice things a sound world will bring about... so it is supremely disappointing when I see so many bitcoiners falling far short of the mark, seemingly without a similar expectation or standards for what the world ought to look like. Feels like fiat minds running on bitcoin, and bitcoin can only shake mass psychology so fast, which gives me pause as to the shape of the ramp up curve to "fixing things" mode even after the impending (total) fall of fiat.
Whether with me, without me, or against me, where are the bitcoiners who will yearn and fight for sublime greatness?
