Samson Mow, CEO of Jan3 and a fierce advocate for Bitcoin adoption by nation-states, discusses why Bitcoin remains undervalued below $100k. He highlights how the U.S. dollar's unstable future could lead to unprecedented Bitcoin appreciation. Mow dives into successful case studies like El Salvador and the significance of corporate treasuries integrating Bitcoin. Speculation around Satoshi's identity adds intrigue, while the potential for nation-state adoption indicates a shifting financial landscape favoring Bitcoin over altcoins.
The U.S. dollar may need re-basing to Bitcoin due to unsustainable national debt and a faltering fiat system.
Hyper-Bitcoinization could occur as countries rapidly adopt Bitcoin amid macroeconomic upheavals, leading to significant price increases.
Deep dives
The Inevitable Rebase to Bitcoin
The assertion is made that the U.S. dollar may need to be re-based to Bitcoin due to unsustainable levels of national debt, which exceed the country's GDP. The argument suggests that without a significant shift, such as a debt jubilee or the adoption of a harder asset, the current fiat system will falter. A proposed solution is adopting a model where one Satoshi equals one U.S. dollar, making Bitcoin the underlying currency. This shift is believed to be a necessary response to increasing debt levels, ultimately leading to a transition to Bitcoin in the financial system.
Hyper-Bitcoinization and Global Adoption
The discussion revolves around the concept of hyper-Bitcoinization, where sudden collapses of fiat currencies prompt mass adoption of Bitcoin as a primary medium of exchange. Countries like Bhutan are cited as leading examples of Bitcoin adoption through their mining efforts, with Bhutan reportedly amassing significant Bitcoin holdings. The predicted trajectory to a $1 million price point for Bitcoin is framed not as a gradual increase but as a rapid upheaval triggered by macroeconomic factors. This rapid acceptance could lead to nations considering sovereign debt strategies to acquire Bitcoin for economic stability.
The Role of Bitcoin in Everyday Transactions
Bitcoin's potential as a medium of exchange is examined amid ongoing discussions about stablecoins and digital fiat alternatives. While stablecoins are gaining traction in regions facing currency instability, the belief is that Bitcoin will ultimately become essential as fiat loses value. The concept of a circular economy, where Bitcoin is spent and replaced through purchasing, is presented as a viable way to encourage broader usage. The challenge remains in the infrastructure needed for Bitcoin transactions, and innovations like the Aqua wallet are being developed to simplify onboarding new users.
Samson Mow, CEO of Jan3, makes the case for why any value of Bitcoin under $100k is still undervalued.
