Why I Built Sweep
As a solo father of two teenage daughters, I wanted to teach them about saving money and how inflation works. I searched everywhere for an app that could make these concepts engaging and real for them. Nothing existed.
Traditional banking apps were boring lectures about "sacrifice" and "discipline." They made saving feel like punishment. Savings is seen as a transaction, not a behaviour. My daughters would roll their eyes. Can you blame them?
So I built Sweep - an app that makes saving automatic and actually fun. Every purchase sweeps spare change into Bitcoin. No thinking, no remembering, no manual work. Just spend normally and watch your savings grow from small daily habits.
"Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn't, pays it." — Albert Einstein
What if it's negative compound interest? Inflation has the same powerful effect, but in reverse - silently destroying your savings year after year.
That's why saving matters. And that's why it needs to be effortless.
Why Bitcoin? Only 21 million will ever exist. No one can print more. One bitcoin is made up of 100,000,000 satoshis (SATS). Each sweep purchases SATS and is stored in your digital wallet that only you can access. Store, sell, you choose. That's it, it's that simple. We're not speculating - we're protecting the value of every small sweep we make.
What started as a teaching tool for my daughters has become a mission to help everyone build better financial habits. Sweep is designed to make saving so effortless that it happens automatically - turning everyday spending into long-term wealth.
