Olá pessoal!
Today I’m joined by Samson Mow — an OG bitcoiner who has held executive roles at BTCC and Blockstream and now is working with governments around the world to promote bitcoin adoption.
Samson, now CEO of Jan3, argues that bitcoin’s time is now and explains why nation states will soon be forced to embrace bitcoin whether they want to or not.
Talk like this sounded crazy a couple of years ago, but with bitcoin surpassing silver as the 8th most valuable asset in the world it’s becoming much easier to see the end game.
Key takeaways from this episode:
Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Implementation
The creation of a national bitcoin reserve became an issue on the US campaign trail
Proposed reserves could range from 250,000 to 1 million bitcoins
First-mover advantage is crucial, as demonstrated by ETF adoption patterns across different countries
Nation-State Adoption Frameworks
Samson sees three primary paths for nation state bitcoin adoption:
Legal tender implementation
Mining operations utilizing excess energy
Treasury/balance sheet allocation
Economic Development Opportunities
Bitcoin mining presents a solution for monetizing stranded energy resources
Geothermal and hydroelectric power can be efficiently converted to monetary value
Developing nations with abundant natural resources could leverage bitcoin to build wealth
Global Financial Independence
Bitcoin offers an alternative to traditional international lending institutions
Nations can reduce dependency on IMF and World Bank funding
Provides a path toward greater fiscal sovereignty
Current Market Dynamics
Bitcoin remains undervalued relative to macroeconomic conditions
Institutional adoption continues to grow through ETFs and corporate treasury allocation
Limited supply creates competitive dynamics among nations and institutions

Samson argues that adoption of bitcoin at the nation-state level is inevitable, with countries increasingly recognizing its potential as a strategic asset. Early adopters like El Salvador have demonstrated positive outcomes, including GDP growth and increased tourism. As more nations understand the realities of bitcoin, the competition for limited supply will accelerate adoption timelines.
