Ep. 29: Samson Mow - Accelerating Fair Money & Sovereignty

🎙️You're The Voice - Ep. 29: Samson Mow - Accelerating Fair Money & Sovereignty My guest today is Samson Mow, CEO of JAN3, a Bitcoin technology company focused on accelerating hyperbitcoinization. Samson is best known for his work with El Salvador’s Bitcoin initiatives, and his efforts in nation-state Bitcoin adoption around the world. In this episode we discuss hyperbitcoinization and the role of nation-states in accelerating Bitcoin adoption, as well as the importance of grassroots initiatives and aligning incentives with governments to promote adoption. Samson provides examples from Germany, Portugal, Switzerland, Argentina, Indonesia, Suriname and El Salvador. Samson believes hyperbitcoinization is inevitable and that the transition from the fiat system to a Bitcoin standard will happen rapidly within the next five to ten years. He highlights the flaws of the current monetary system and the potential for Bitcoin to restore balance and empower individuals. We touch on the weaponization of money by governments, the trend of freezing bank accounts, and the need for Bitcoin to separate money from the state. Samson emphasizes that Bitcoin can fix these issues by changing people's mindset and making them less fearful. Samson also talks about the differences between stablecoins and Bitcoin, the launch of Aqua wallet and his price prediction for Bitcoin - $1M in 2024! • "Hyperbitcoinization is an inevitability. And we are just speeding it up a little bit." • "Hyperbitcoinization is a combination of grassroots initiatives and nation-state adoption." • "I believe Bitcoin can fix this because Bitcoin changes people. It makes them less scared of the world, more hopeful." ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow/subscribe and support my work.
