EP87: Orange-Pilling Countries with Samson Mow

Episode • Jun 8, 2023 • 44m

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
