  Café Bitcoin is BACK | Day 2 of 50: FATF Surveillance Creep, Signal vs. Noise, and The Work That Wins 23.07.2026 1ώ 15λ

  Day 2 of 50 Days for Freedom. Cory hosts from a bench in Hyde Park, London, after Day 1 pulled 2,800+ listens and a peak of 465 concurrent in the room. Susie Violet Ward (journalist and co-founder of Bitcoin Policy UK) breaks down FATF's new fraud roadmap: how an unelected body's Travel Rule is being extended to Bitcoin under a national security banner, and why identity-linked data honeypots are the real risk. Cory pushes back in real time on the France kidnapping narrative, a live lesson in signal versus noise and why Bitcoiners should verify before they amplify. Fernando Nikolic (Perception) joins to talk narrative engineering, data as a moat, and why no two companies are applying AI the same way, which leads into a look at Swan's own agent stack, including Cygnet. Cory reads Part 2 of his new essay The Battle for Monetary Independence, "The Work That Wins": bull markets get the glory, bear markets do the work. Plus self-hosting and media preservation with Tatum, memory-holed journalism, a Grayscale Worldcoin ETF sighting, and the legend of the eaten shoe.

  Café Bitcoin is Back | 1 of 50 21.07.2026 1ώ 16λ

  Cafe Bitcoin is back. On day one of Swan's 50 Days for Bitcoin campaign, Cory Klippsten relaunches the daily show that began on Clubhouse in 2020 and helped shape a generation of Bitcoin education. He opens with the campaign's rallying cry: Swan has cut its buy fee in half to 50 basis points for all 50 days, running from July 21 through September 8, with daily Spaces, collaborations, and a renewed push to get every listener into self-custody. Cory also introduces his new essay, "The Battle for Monetary Independence" (swan.com/battle), built around his grandfather Philip Klippsten's WWII journal from the USS Yorktown, and reads a passage connecting the founders' fight for political independence to our generation's unfinished work: monetary independence. The conversation ranges from the rise of age verification laws, VPN bans, and chat control across the US, UK, and EU, to why stablecoins have turned much of the industry into "dollar merchants," to why self-custody is the real answer to the encroachment on financial freedom. Longtime community members including Terrance, Humble, Tao, Yellow, Bobby Burnett, and Cortek join to reminisce about the Clubhouse era, ask whether Pacific Bitcoin returns, and set the tone for the next 50 days: education first, adoption first, no Bitcoiner-on-Bitcoiner infighting, and memes. Lots of memes.
