Samson Mow’s journey from gaming to Bitcoin advocacy highlights his vision for financial freedom and decentralized economies.
As founder of JAN3, Mow advises nations on adopting Bitcoin, aiming to reshape financial systems globally.
Mow started his path in Canada, where he obtained a Bachelor of Business Administration, working at companies including Relic Entertainment and Ubisoft.
Managing major operations and guiding BTCC, one of the biggest Bitcoin exchanges and mining pools worldwide, he assumed the position of Chief Operating Officer and helped the business to be on a steady road in the erratic early years of crypto trading.
Mow joined Blockstream in 2017 as Chief Strategy Officer, increasing his impact in the blockchain scene. Blockstream is well-known for its Bitcoin technological innovation; Mow helped to advance its infrastructure.
Mow started JAN3, a business committed to hastening Bitcoin acceptance in 2022.
Working closely with President Nayib Bukele, Mow advised on the development of Bitcoin City, a bold initiative aiming to build a city run totally on renewable energy and Bitcoin.
Mow’s criticism of meme currencies stems from his worry that these coins would deflect focus from Bitcoin and foster a speculative investing culture instead of a real financial empowerment one.
Mow’s idea of Bitcoin goes much beyond personal investments or one-off exchanges.
Mow keeps interacting with nations interested in using Bitcoin through JAN3 in order to promote resilience and economic freedom.
