Swan Signal Monthly: January 2021 Newsletter

Welcome to the January 2021 edition of the Swan Signal monthly newsletter. Bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $42,000 in early January and has since pulled back to $33,000. 

Is this a buying oppor­tu­nity?

Read on to find out.

Ready to start investing in Bitcoin?

You can get started through SwanBitcoin.com today. New users can make one-time buys OR set up an automatic recur­ring purchase plan (ex: $50/week).

In the meantime, we hope you find our monthly Bitcoin newsletter valuable!

In this month’s letter:

1. Liftoff: a short essay about Bitcoin

2. A curated list of recent Bitcoin content

3. Behind-the-scenes updates from the Swan team

Bitcoin is trading at $33,000 at the time of publi­ca­tion. This is down 22% from the recent all-time high of around $42,000. Should we be worried?

No, we should not be worried. In fact, it’s healthy to see pullbacks in a bull market. 

For some histor­ical context, Bitcoin rose from $1,000 to $20,000 in 2017, and during that run, we saw five ~30% pullbacks. Buying during those pullbacks turned out to be wise moves.

Swan customers have been buying this dip in earnest 💪

We’ve noticed that any time the Bitcoin price drops by 5 — 10%, existing Swan customers log into their dashboard and make on-time buys. In fact, our biggest volume days are when the price dips 🙂

As a reminder, our new “buy instantly” feature is avail­able for all Swan Customers. 

Swan customers aren’t the only ones buying this dip…

In fact, we’re seeing increased insti­tu­tional investors buying Bitcoin like never before. 

• Harvard, Yale, and other Univer­sity endow­ments have been quietly buying Bitcoin for over a year. 

• Ray Dalio said, ‘Bitcoin is one hell of an inven­tion’ and is consid­ering adding BTC to a new fund he’s creating.

• Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroS­trategy, is teaching thousands of C‑level execu­tives how to put Bitcoin on their balance sheet on February 3rd. 

• The world’s largest asset manager, Black­rock, is offering their clients exposure to Bitcoin.

• Anthony Scara­mucci of SkyBridge Capital launched a new Bitcoin fund and said, “Bitcoin is better at being gold than gold is at being gold.”

• Over $40b worth of Bitcoin is sitting on Corpo­rate Balance sheets, and more to come.

• Elon Musk just said, “Bitcoin is really on the verge of getting broad accep­tance by conven­tional finance people.” Wonder if Tesla is quietly accumu­lating BTC?

A pseudonym is a ficti­tious name that a person or group assumes for a partic­ular purpose. Bitcoin’s creator used the pseudonym “Satoshi Nakamoto” to conceal their identity. There is a miscon­cep­tion that Bitcoin addresses are anony­mous, however in reality they’re pseudonymous.
