Episode notes
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:
