Why Many TradFi Professionals Resist Bitcoin

Mentor Sessions Ep. 036: Prince Filip of Serbia on Bitcoin Nation States, Hyperbitcoinization, TradFi Escape, Monarchy Revival & Serbia's 313M% Hyperinflation Lessons

What happens when a prince trades asset management for Bitcoin nation-state adoption? In this conversation, Prince Filip of Serbia—heir to the throne and CSO at Jan3 (Samson Mow's Bitcoin-only firm)—walks us through pitching BTC reserves to emperors, presidents and central banks. From Top Down Japan's politicians and emperor to bottom up hyperbitcoinization via Aqua Wallet. Drawing from his TradFi days in quantitative equities, he exposes factor investing's FOMO trap—where sentiment and momentum crush fundamentals in a money-printing world. Bitcoin clarified monarchy for him: low-time preference rulers beat democracy's corruption cycles (shoutout Polybius). We unpack Serbia's 313,000,000% monthly hyperinflation that wiped life savings in days, Yugoslavia's fiat-fueled collapse, and revival whispers in Serbia, Romania and France. Price suppression by whales? Hyperbitcoinization breaks it. Monarchy + Bitcoin = stable governance. Plus Flag theory picks: Switzerland (no cap gains), UAE, Serbia rising. Don't Skip this one!
