Camila Campton, the Swan Force lead at Swan Bitcoin, joins us to discuss what makes all of us willing to talk about Bitcoin 24/7.

A self-described newbie with a willingness to learn, Camila is crushing it with Swan, who first approached her to work on their social media but is now also presenting the Bitcoin En Espanol show with Javier Bastardo @criptobastardo from Venezuela.

She sees herself as an educator and describes how Bitcoin makes you more selfless and loves building a toolbox of resources to help people learn.

She first started learning about Bitcoin with her husband following the March 2020 market correction by listening to podcasts by Citizen Bitcoin, Stephan Livera, Matt Odell and Marty Bent. She describes it as a guilt-free addiction (and now job) that gives you hope, compared to a pessimistic outlook on life outside of Bitcoin.

She sees it as important to speak to friends, family and Swan users about Bitcoin at a level they can understand, using all social channels and connecting on a human level to help them get off zero and start accumulating Satoshis. But also, the importance of establishing yourself as the Bitcoin person in your community, and letting people come to you when they are ready.

We discussed how Bitcoin is viewed in Latin America (particularly Colombia) and how people still have more faith in the USD as a savings vehicle, and that both Clubhouse and Twitter Spaces have thriving Spanish speaking Bitcoin communities.

Camila tells us her thoughts and experience of being a woman in Bitcoin. The only pushback was whether she was in Bitcoin for clout and attention, but she has proven her intentions through her work:

“If you’re comfortable with your intent, keep doing you.”

She feels she’s always had a lower time preference than her peers, but Bitcoin has allowed her to flex her savings muscle and find her people.

Finally, we talk about bitcoiners being the toughest critics of Bitcoin, and how people who work for Bitcoin will have their time and effort respected.

All Swan staff work from home, and although they could form a basketball team, none of us will ever be on it!
