Samson Mow has one job at JAN3: get countries onto Bitcoin before they realize they're out of time.
He's worked with governments on Bitcoin bonds, mining strategy, and financial infrastructure. El Salvador was a start. His view is that nation-state adoption won't be gradual. It'll happen suddenly, all at once, like a dam breaking.
Bitcoin is the right of all sentient beings. That's his quote. Hard to argue with it.
Do you think the next wave of country-level adoption happens in 2026, or are we still a few years out?

Episode 4 is a good one. Alladin and Asanoha break down what Based Trading Cards actually is - physical, graded, Bitcoin-native. Not another NFT project. If you want to understand why culture matters for Bitcoin adoption, this is worth 45 minutes of your time.

Bitcoin has no intrinsic value is one of the oldest critiques in the book.
Neither does gold, really. Value is what people agree it's worth. Always has been.
Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million can't be changed by any government or central bank. That's not nothing. That's the whole point.
Mises wrote that sound money protects civil liberties by limiting state power. Bitcoin just automated that constraint.
Does the no intrinsic value argument still land to you, or does it feel outdated at this point?

January 10, 2009. Hal Finney posted two words: Running bitcoin.
The next day, Satoshi sent him 10 BTC - the first Bitcoin transaction ever.
Finney was a cryptographer who'd spent years building toward this. He ran the software before almost anyone else. And he documented it in the most understated way possible.
Two words. That's it.
If you had to pick a moment Bitcoin entered the world, that's probably it. What do you think Finney understood that most people missed in 2009?

The 4th Bitcoin halving in 2024 dropped the block reward to 3.125 BTC, locking in a supply issuance rate lower than gold. We are now two years into this epoch, watching the scarcity math play out in real time.
As we march toward the 5th halving in 2028, do you think the market has fully priced in the current 3.125 reward structure?

John Adams wrote in 1813 that American aristocracy was rising "not from Virtues or Talents so much as from Banks and Land Jobbing." In other letters he called any bank that issues paper at interest "a Pickpocket or a Robber" and said there was no honest money but silver and gold. He wrote that 200 years before the Fed's balance sheet hit $9 trillion. If Adams were alive today, do you think he would hold Bitcoin?

Hal Finney tweeted "Running bitcoin" on January 11, 2009, the day before he received the first Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi. Eight months later he was diagnosed with ALS. He kept coding Bitcoin for years after that, eventually using eye-tracking software because his hands no longer worked. He contributed to the protocol until he physically could not. Courage isn't a concept for Bitcoiners. It's a track record. Who else in any industry has a story like that?

A family-run race team in the UK has four Bitcoin-liveried cars on track and the official endorsement of the nation of El Salvador, whose ambassador drove to Oulton Park Circuit to watch their first race. The Mackenzie family started this project because Bitcoin helped them survive 2008. Now they put the El Salvador flag on their HGV hauler and drive it 5,000 miles across the UK every season.

Getting started in Bitcoin can feel like you're on your own, trying to piece everything together from articles and videos. It's a lot to navigate.
But what if you could just talk to an expert? Coinbeast.com built a feature called CoinBeast Connect for exactly that. It lets you book one-on-one video calls with Bitcoin professionals to get direct answers on topics like self-custody, mining, or taxes. It's a direct line for personalized education.

Bitcoin Audible has been running for 8 years and just crossed 1,300 episodes. That's not a podcast, that's an archive.
What Swann built is something different from a typical interview show. He reads Bitcoin — articles, research papers, books, blog posts — and narrates them. The entire written history of the protocol, distilled into audio. Millions of downloads, and growing. The show has formats for beginners, for deep technical dives, and for conversations. It's one of the most complete single-source Bitcoin education libraries in existence, and one person built it.
Guy Swann is speaking at Plan B Conference this month alongside Adam Fisk and Mathias Buus. Still in the work.

When Satoshi disappeared, the network didn't die. Instead, it proved the whole point: Bitcoin doesn't need a figurehead.
Every time you run a node, hold your own keys, or mine a block, you're participating in the same vision Satoshi started. Not his Bitcoin. Your Bitcoin. The anonymity that protected him is the same anonymity available to anyone who wants to use it. The code doesn't care if you're a CEO or a pleb.
"We are all Satoshi" isn't propaganda. It's what happens when a system is truly decentralized. The creator can vanish and nothing breaks. That's the test of the design.
What would your relationship to money look like if you genuinely believed you were as much a part of it as the person who invented it?

You're right — the cypherpunks built the foundation. Brunell's move is valuable precisely because she stands on their shoulders and reaches people who'd never read a manifesto. Different roles in the same mission.

Card 3. Natalie Brunell. Base parallel, 424 supply.
When investigative journalists go Bitcoin, something shifts. Brunell spent years chasing stories on major networks, learning how to translate complex systems into human stakes. Now she does the same with monetary policy.
Her book—Bitcoin Is for Everyone—wasn't written for cypherpunks. It was written for her old colleagues in mainstream media, the people still convinced Bitcoin is for criminals. That accessibility matters. The women's Bitcoin brunch she hosts every year at major conferences? Also deliberate. Adoption depends on reaching people told they're too old, too non-technical, or too outside the club.
"If 8 billion people want a form of money that is scarce, decentralized and decoupled from corrupt governments, they will have it."
The interviewer becomes the advocate.

Some philosophies are theoretical. Others are put into practice daily. Bitcoin maximalism is not just a belief in sound money, but an active participation in the network that secures it. It's the conviction that leads someone to run their own node, verifying every transaction for themselves.
This isn't a small commitment. It requires hardware, bandwidth, and the proof of work to learn. Yet, tens of thousands of nodes are currently online, forming a global, decentralized consensus that has never been successfully compromised. This is the keystone of the whole system, operated by individuals who opted out of the old one.
What was the single biggest factor that convinced you to run your own node?

Most collectors focus on the design of a card, but the concept behind this one is its real power. The state's control of money isn't just an idea; it's enforced through specific laws.\n\nBefore the Legal Tender Act of 1862 in the United States, for example, private bank notes and foreign coins were common currency. The government's decision to issue its own paper money and legally compel its acceptance for all debts was a turning point. It created a monopoly. This single piece of legislation is the foundation of the fiat system we know today, replacing market-based money with state-decreed currency.\n\nIt makes you wonder, what does a collection truly represent when the very definition of money can be changed by law?\n\n#Bitcoin #BasedTradingCards

Many know Rare Scrilla for his vibrant, psychedelic style, but his roots in the culture run deeper than most realize. Long before the mainstream NFT boom, he was a key contributor to the Rare Pepe trading card series, one of the earliest experiments in crypto art on the Bitcoin blockchain. He even minted what many consider the first music NFT all the way back in 2016 under his DJ Pepe alias.
This card, XCOCOX, feels like a direct link to that early era of creative, chaotic energy. It captures the spirit of an artist who was there from the beginning, drawing memes for Bitcoin from his swamp. A true OG.

Kiyosaki published that asset-versus-liability framework in 1997. Over 32 million copies sold. Most people understood it, put the book down, and kept their savings in a checking account.
The standing FUD on Bitcoin is that it is speculation, not an asset. But run the test: over any four-year window since 2012, Bitcoin has gained against the dollar. It does not generate cash flow, which is the usual knock. Neither does gold. Gold has been an asset for five thousand years without writing anyone a dividend check.
What makes something an asset is simple: does it hold or grow your purchasing power? The fiat in your wallet loses 8-10% per year to inflation. The math is not complicated.
What is the asset in your stack that the mainstream still calls a liability?

Not for money. Not for clout. Because the cards meant something to one person and the tractor meant something to the other, and both agreed that was a fair trade.

A new phishing tool called Starkiller just surfaced. Instead of a fake login page, it spins up a real-time proxy of the actual site — live session, real MFA prompt, every keystroke logged through attacker infrastructure. You authenticate successfully. The attacker walks in behind you with your session token.
This is what the AI-assisted scammer threat looks like in practice. Spotting fakes by checking for pixel-perfect copies is mostly dead. When the proxy is the real page, there is nothing to spot.
For Bitcoin specifically, the defense has not changed: your private keys never touch the internet. Not a browser extension, not a web wallet, not anything that makes an outbound request with your seed. Offline storage cuts the attack surface before Starkiller or anything like it gets close.
Scammers always find the path of least resistance. Right now that path goes straight through your browser session.

"Freedom" is one of the more honest cards in the Genesis set. The back text defines it almost identically to how the Cato Human Freedom Index does: freedom as the absence of coercive constraint.
The 2024 HFI found 87% of the world's population saw their freedoms decline from 2019 to 2022. Not just political freedoms, but measurable ones, sound money included. People in the bottom quartile of freedom average $15,800 per year in income versus $56,000 in the top.
Bitcoin does not care which quartile you were born into. That is exactly what the Genesis set was built for, cards designed to hand to someone who has never considered what sound money has to do with their life.
The quote on the card is worth sitting with: "The secret to happiness is freedom and the secret to freedom is courage." That is not a motivational poster. That is a genuine ask.

A family race team that found Bitcoin after the 2008 financial crisis, now running two cars in the 2026 MINI Challenge. That's Bitcoin Racing in brief.
The El Salvador angle is what stands out. Getting an entire country to officially endorse a motorsport team is not something you see in this sport. National backing at that level normally goes to well-funded state programs, not a family operation.
The 2023 season pulled 16.2 million TV viewers and 400k live spectators. Bitcoin conferences reach people already in the space. A race weekend reaches people who are there for the cars and only hear about Bitcoin because it's on the livery.
Whether that passive exposure converts anyone is the real question. Do you think motorsport sponsorship actually moves people toward Bitcoin, or is it just brand awareness?

Every 10 minutes, somewhere on the planet, an ASIC makes trillions of guesses to find a number small enough to win the block. The difficulty adjusts automatically so that pace holds regardless of how much hashpower joins the network. That self-correcting clock is one of the more elegant things in Bitcoin and it rarely gets mentioned outside technical circles.
What's underappreciated right now: some operations run entirely on gas that oil companies would otherwise burn off as waste. Flared methane gets converted into electricity and plugged straight into mining rigs. It's a genuinely novel use of energy that was already being destroyed.
The /210 supply on this Orange parallel keeps it in collector territory without being impossible to find.
What's the angle that got you interested in how mining actually works?

Most people hear Bitcoin and think: get rich. The Card Genie card frames it differently.
In this version of the Aladdin story, three wishes are granted, and none of them are for gold. Aladdin wishes for awakening, critical thinking, and integrity. Things that can't be printed, issued, or debased. The joke about fiat money is almost too obvious once you see it.
A Chase card with supply of 3 from the Bitcoin Magazine series, art by John and Bandit077. The Aladdin metaphor has been floating around Bitcoin circles for years, but I haven't seen it rendered as a physical card before. There's something fitting about it being a Chase card. The rare pulls are usually the ones that make you think.
If you could wish for one thing the current monetary system has made harder to find, what would it be?

Card 30 in Warriors vs. Villains is just called Hope. Silver parallel, 669 supply.
Mandela said it from prison: 'Hope is a powerful weapon and no power on earth can deprive you of it.' He wasn't talking about Bitcoin. But the overlap is hard to miss.
27 years behind bars and his captors could take everything except what he believed was possible. That's the same instinct that drives Bitcoiners through bear markets, exchange collapses, regulatory crackdowns, and the endless cycle of obituaries. The asset can be seized. The conviction that the math is right cannot.
That's what this card is quietly doing. It's not abstract inspiration, it's a statement about what makes a sound money movement durable. Hope isn't passive here. It's the thing that keeps people building, running nodes, holding keys, doing the work.
What keeps you coming back when the price is down?

The part of SeedSigner that doesn't get enough attention is the stateless design. The device never stores your keys. Every session, you load your seed fresh, sign what you need to sign, and the keys are gone when you power off. There's nothing to extract later because there's nothing there.
That's a fundamentally different security model from most hardware wallets. Most devices are keeping your keys somewhere. SeedSigner refuses to.
And the whole thing runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero with off-the-shelf parts for under $50. You can verify the code yourself, build the enclosure yourself, even generate your seed phrase entropy from dice rolls or a photo. It's FOSS all the way down.
A card that represents actual self-custody philosophy, not just the aesthetics of it. What's your current cold storage setup?

That last line is the whole point. Bitcoin has real artists making real physical things — that's worth supporting now, not someday. Cards are one of the ways that shows up in your hands.

That quote is from 2021 — right when Square was going deep on Bitcoin. Dorsey's conviction during that cycle wasn't just talk. Exactly the kind of figure worth putting on a card and keeping forever.

The Federal Reserve's balance sheet as of February 19 sits at $6.57 trillion. It still holds $4.3 trillion in Treasury securities and $2 trillion in mortgage-backed securities. That's not a reserve. That's a portfolio.
The name has always been a sleight of hand. Not a federal agency. No actual reserves. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 handed currency control to a private banking cartel, and the IRS Act was signed the same day to ensure there was a mechanism to collect on the debt it would generate.
The Eustace Mullins quote on this card's back isn't hyperbole. Mullins spent years in the Library of Congress researching what most economists had glossed over. His book on the Fed was originally commissioned by Ezra Pound, who was writing from prison at the time.
Bitcoiners tend to understand the mechanism intuitively. What was the moment it clicked for you?

Knut Svanholm wrote "Sovereignty Through Mathematics" in 2019, which became one of the most widely circulated Bitcoin primers. But what stuck wasn't the book. It was the phrase he coined: "Everything divided by 21 million." Five words that collapse every asset class through a single fixed denominator. The phrase outlived the book.
His newest work takes a full detour. "Praxeology: The Invisible Hand That Feeds You" is pure Austrian economics, no Bitcoin branding, just human action theory traced through Robinson Crusoe thought experiments. Mises for autodidacts.
Card 101 captures the other side of Knut: the globe-trotting, rant-mode-ready philosopher doing the orange pill circuit in person, dad jokes included.
What's your entry point into his work?

Card 30. Hope. Gold parallel, 421 supply.
Mandela's quote on this card wasn't written in a victory speech. He said it from Robben Island, where he spent 18 of his 27 imprisoned years. The apartheid state could take everything except what he chose to believe was possible.
Psychologists who study hope make a sharp distinction: it's not wishful thinking. Real hope requires goals, specific pathways to reach them, and the belief that you can actually move. Passive "maybe things will get better" is optimism. Active hope is a plan you're already executing.
The card back calls hope "the light at the end of the tunnel" but the Mandela framing is more honest: a weapon. Something you wield, not something you wait for.
When everything is stripped away, what's the one thing keeping you moving?

Great choice with the genesis cards to dip your toes in with. No chase cards (AKA foil/shiny) in that series though.
Warriors vs. Villains is series 3 of the main series which goes by Orange Pill in a Pack or OPP for short. Only 21,000 packs are printed per series and each pack has a serialized chase card in it - no other cards out there in the hobby do this. 🤙

As we embrace the Bitcoin era, it's essential to recognize the diverse spectrum of visionaries driving this revolution forward. Our latest video, "The Faces of the Bitcoin Era," does just that. Accompanied by Pharrell Williams' "Happy," we spotlight the individuals who are not just part of the conversation but are actively shaping the narrative of bitcoin.
From innovators like Oliver from SVRN Energy and strategists like Tone Vays to educators like Jimmy Song and disruptors like Greg Foss, these are the people laying the foundation for a new financial paradigm.
Their passion, expertise, and dedication remind us that the Bitcoin era is not just about technology; it's about the community and culture that are its lifeblood.
Watch and get inspired by the personal journeys and collective vision that make our industry truly revolutionary.
