While most of us spend years trying to convince our cousin/sibling/mum that we’re not crazy and that “it might make sense just to get some in case it catches on”, there are others among us that are operating at an altogether higher level. Samson Mow is one of those people. 

As the CEO of JAN3, he’s working on nation-state adoption and accelerating hyperbitcoinization, but he didn’t set out to do that, it just happened one day. 

He kindly took some time out of his hectic schedule to hang out with a couple of Idiots.  Here’s what we discussed: 

• Will we ever operate on block time so that time difference is no longer a thing (we sound rough in the morning!) 

• The state of DMs when you have a large following 

• How to prioritise your workload 

• The mission of JAN3 (top-down and bottom-up) 

• How opportunities present themselves 

• Varying levels of knowledge, understanding and receptivity 

• Explaining that Bitcoin is just Money 

• Awareness of money being devalued versus the high time preference nature of politics 

• The next El Salvador. Mexico?

• Bitcoin becoming a key part of political discourse. RFK

• The importance of face-to-face, particularly in removing the fear of asking questions 

• How many of us must understand Bitcoin 

• Taking a break after hyperbitcoinization and the timescale for that 

• The most powerful force is necessity (Argentina, Lebanon) 

• Adopting Bitcoin before your value is destroyed 

• The problem with centralised power 

• The pros and cons of living on a Bitcoin standard 

• The decline in developed countries 

• Brendo’s unsuccessful application 

• Infinite Fleet and gaming 

• Fads 

• Australia and Canada
