TD₿: The Battle for Monetary Independence by Cory Klippsten (and Swan buy fees cut to 0.5% through September 8th)

Hey Bitcoiners,

This summer, the United States turned 250.

It was founded by people who acted to win their freedom, not by people who waited for things to change. The same is true of money.

Cory Klippsten, Founder and CEO of Swan just published an essay calling all Bitcoiners to join the fight for Monetary Independence.

Cory draws on his grandfather’s journal from the deck of the USS Yorktown in 1945. His experience taught him that history looks inevitable only after ordinary people have done the work to make it happen.

It’s titled The Battle for Monetary Independence, and it’s about the unfinished work of our generation.

For the next 50 days, through September 8, we have cut our Bitcoin buy fee in half, from 1% to 0.50%.

The halved rate applies to instant buys, recurring buys, limit orders, and Swan IRA buys.

Withdrawals stay complimentary, as always. Swan pays the network fee because we want you to hold the Bitcoin you buy.

Here are ways you can take action:

• Make a purchase at 0.50% by September 8

• Start or increase a recurring buy

• Add to a Swan IRA (great opportunity for a transfer or rollover at lower prices)

• Move your Bitcoin into self-custody or collaborative self-custody with Swan Vault

• Share a resource with a friend, colleague, or family member (many of the all-time best are at swan.com/canon). Every Bitcoiner was once someone who didn’t understand Bitcoin. Light the spark, and they’ll do the rest.

Head to Swan to buy Bitcoin with a reduced 0.5% fee.

Throughout the 50 days, Swan will publish daily educational content on Bitcoin, freedom, and self-custody.

Café Bitcoin returns live on X Spaces every weekday, with Swan’s team and special guests.

Swan Speakeasies will connect Bitcoiners for private video roundtable discussions.

And we’re gifting Inventing Bitcoin, often recommended as the best introduction to Bitcoin, written by Swan co-founder and CTO Yan Pritzker.

History is made by people who act. Your part starts with buying Bitcoin and taking custody of it. We’re here to help.
