The Swan Bitcoin YouTube channel was banned by YouTube this morning.

Swan, a Bitcoin-centric financial firm, is moving their educational Bitcoin and macroeconomic video channel to their new media platform,
Twitter.com/swan.
YouTube’s explanation for the ban:
“We reviewed your channel carefully, and have confirmed that it violates our Community Guidelines. We know this is probably disappointing news, but it’s our job to make sure the YouTube is a safe place for all. We won’t be putting your channel back up on Youtube.”
Swan co-founder and CTO Yan Pritzker said, “Our YouTube channel was bringing sober and smart macroeconomic and technology education to 54,000 subscribers featuring top quality interviews with respected professionals. YouTube banned it while allowing countless crypto scam channels to continue that promote gambling and Ponzi schemes.”
Swan’s reporting includes the show Hard Money, featuring Emmy-award winning anchor Natalie Brunell, which was recently nominated as a finalist in the LA Press Club’s SoCal Journalism Awards (

YouTube banned Swan’s channel once before, in 2020, again with no explanation, and returned it to Swan more than a year later, again with no explanation. In the meantime Swan had to create an entirely new channel and build up their audience from scratch.
I’m available for comment, as are Yan and Natalie. Please email media@swan.com.
Thank you!
Cory Klippsten, Founder & CEO, Swan Bitcoin
