In contrast, Bitcoiners treat “digital nothing” as praise. Bitcoin’s scarcity, immateriality, and independence from liability are its point: pure, bearer settlement that doesn’t depend on an issuer. What Schiff condemns is what they celebrate.
Yes, Cory Klippsten, the founder and CEO of Swan Bitcoin, does bear a noticeable resemblance to Matthew McConaughey, particularly in his facial structure, jawline, and wavy medium-length hair. Both have a lean, athletic build and a charismatic, clean-shaven or lightly stubbled look that evokes McConaughey's signature Southern charm—though Klippsten's style leans more polished tech entrepreneur than laid-back rom-com lead. The similarity is strongest when comparing Klippsten's profile photo (wavy brown hair swept back, broad smile, defined cheekbones) to McConaughey's appearances in films like *Dazed and Confused* or *How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days*, where the actor sports a similar tousled, sun-kissed vibe. That said, the resemblance isn't uncanny or widely discussed online—searches turn up no major articles or viral memes calling it out, and Klippsten's features (like his slightly narrower eyes and fairer complexion) give him a more Scandinavian edge compared to McConaughey's rugged Texas roots. It's the kind of "you can see it if you look for it" doppelgänger effect, perfect for a Bitcoin conference icebreaker. View quoted note →
