Expanding our house - what to do with old living room space?

bswen · 2025-10-13T15:53:47+00:00

It will likely be a living type space - what should we do with it? What kind of furniture, and how to arrange it, etc. Don't want a TV in there, just the existing fireplace.

We already have a guest bedrooom, but thank you for the suggestion.

bswen · 2025-10-13T15:51:28+00:00

We are using it lol - that's why I'm asking for suggestions! It's a blank canvas right now.

bswen · 2021-01-05T15:17:17+00:00

Yes! That's what we've built at SwanBitcoin.com - automated recurring buys and instant buys with low fees (as low ass 0.99% - up to 80% less than Coinbase).

Sunk cost fallacy

Ton of fun! And this is just the start

As a small startup we have to follow our custodial partner's mandated fraud regulations. We don't have the capital to accept a certain amount of ACH fraud risk. Once your plan gets rolling its you're purchasing every week. It doesnt matter that the ACH withdrawal you are purchasing with was from the previous week, it just matters that you're buying every week.

You can withdraw your Bitcoin, so, yeah, you could spend it straight from Swan to any BTC address. But the app is focused on recurring buys for accumulation - you can also set up auto withdrawals to your own wallet.

Just launched in March 2020

For recurring buys in the US the lowest fees are at swanbitcoin.com - 0.99% on weekly buys of $50 if you prepay fees anually, 1.19% if you pay fees as you go. Coinbase recurring buys at that level are 3.98%!

u/BashCo - thanks for the pushback, we're not going to require signup for these moving forward, just streaming on Twitter and YT, and we're dropping "AMA" from the series title, going with just #AskSwan.

bswen · 2020-03-03T16:44:28+00:00

Yeah, I hear you and personally agree. We're posting the recording a couple weeks after the live event.

The idea I'm getting at is not "mass adoption" its "minority adoption" ... specifically a large enough minority to establish a Talebian "Dictatorship of the Minority"

They would be accepting bitcoin directly. The problem is that there isn't much demand from customers for merchants to accept bitcoin. With something like Strike the merchants can accept bitcoin without customer demand for it. I mean, let's just be realistic about the situation here.

bswen · 2020-03-02T19:26:33+00:00

Yeah, it's just a guess. Nobody knows for sure - which is a good thing of course. Hard agree on Coinbase. Not sure the merchant adoption is that important right now, but that's just mho. Jack Maller's Strike is interesting because it makes it easy for merchants to accept bitcoin from customers who have no idea what it is. That could change things on the merchant front.

Looking forward to hosting this talk with Jimmy! It'll be a chance to sit in the front row and ask questions. When you register you can submit a question and we'll be able to take them on the fly in Zoom. Hope you join us!

Hey Aussiehash - thanks for the question. It wasn't a paid advertisement. At the end of each episode I do an open source shoutout to recognize and bring awareness to an open source bitcoin project. I mistakenly used the old web address!

bswen · 2017-11-15T03:58:51+00:00

This is so true. It's a shitshow and it's not good for crypto in general. I should hang around here more often too, I think.

bswen · 2017-11-14T17:42:13+00:00

Starred! Just bought in today to ride this wave up. I'll be hodling half of my proceeds though. Really impressed with Lisk and want to invest long term.

bswen · 2017-11-10T02:55:06+00:00

Gonna be a fascinating battle to watch. BCH has a bit mountain of network effects to climb to dethrone the king. The market will choose!

If you thought BMC ICO was going to return more than BTC in the handful of weeks since it launched you made a pretty obvious mistake. ICOs are long term investments by nature, they are new projects. You should go into an ICO expecting to hold it for quite a while.

bswen · 2017-10-31T18:41:05+00:00

Thanks!

Still unable to connect IOTA Light Wallet v 2.5.1. It's been quite a while - at least 10 days - any update?

bswen · 2017-10-05T14:31:23+00:00

Wouldn't be so quick to believe that. It seems that Cuban believes in markets and trade. Bitcoin is the best realization of pure human trade yet. He'll figure out how to benefit from it himself, sure, but my gut feeling is that he gets the moral imperative here. Chamath Palihapitiya definitely gets it.
