Samson Mow is the CEO of Jan3, a company focused on accelerating hyperbitcoinization. He is also the CEO and Founder of Pixelmatic. He was previously CSO at Blockstream. Most importantly, he is the rhythm guitar player for Satoshi Rockamoto 🎸🤘🏼😂 Samson is a #bitcoin all-star and titan of the industry. It was great having him on to hang and get something in our archives. Jan3 is currently in "stealth mode" and working on several new products, including the Aqua wallet for Bitcoin, L-BTC assets, and implementing Lightning in their next release. Aqua integrates Liquid, Lightning, and sidechains for enhanced privacy and lower fees. Most of what Jan3 is up to is on the hush-hush.... including who else is on their team, plans for mining, and all that fun stuff. We're lucky to have invested in Jan3 through our NODE 1 FUND and are excited about what they're building. THEY'RE ORANGE PILLING COUNTRIES! If you can get countries to DCA, that's a pretty big deal.Jan3 advises governments on adopting Bitcoin, particularly mining and issuing "Volcano Bonds" backed by mining revenue. El Salvador was the first country to make Bitcoin legal tender. Jan3 helped architect the Bitcoin bonds and is now speaking with leaders from other countries interested in Bitcoin adoption. Rare Toshi is an NFT marketplace built on the Liquid Network and initially developed by Blockstream. It allows artists to tokenize their work without needing Ethereum. Jan3's revenue will come from Aqua, consulting deals, and a cut of any Bond issuances or advisor agreements they arrange with countries adopting Bitcoin. The goal is to create a self-funding flywheel to drive further hyperbitcoinization.Chapters & Timestamps:0:00 - Introduction2:30 - Satoshi Nakamoto Impersonation at Conferences5:30 - Background on Samson Mow8:00 - Jan3 Stealth Mode & Upcoming Products10:30 - Aqua Wallet for Bitcoin & Stablecoins15:00 - Jan3's Mining Plans17:30 - Rare Toshi NFT Marketplace20:00 - Nation State Bitcoin Adoption25:00 - Consulting Governments on Bitcoin Mining & Bonds28:00 - Revenue Generation for Jan3Check out JAN3! ⚡️https://jan3.comFollow JAN3 ⚡️ @JAN3com https://twitter.com/JAN3comFollow Samson Mow @Excellion 👨💻https://twitter.com/ExcellionLearn about Lightning⚡️VenturesFill out the LP Application for an expedited process and get started.https://ltng.ventures/lp-applicationLooking to raise funds for your company?

FUJI Money: Empowering Lending and Stability with #Bitcoin | Unlocking the Potential of #DecentralizedFinance, Lending, and Exchanges. Welcome to FUJI Money, revolutionizing lending and stability with Bitcoin-backed solutions. Unlock the immense potential of decentralized finance, Bitcoin-backed stability, and noncustodial lending with FUJI Money. Bitcoin smart contracts? Say whaaaa? In this video, we hang with Marco and dive into the exciting world of FUJI Labs. With a focus on operational conservatism and sustainability, FUJI Money stands apart from its competition, those custodial players like Nexo and Coinlend. We're in the wake of the centralized blowups! These entities, often linked to insolvent platforms, pale in comparison to the vision of FUJI Labs. FUJI is solving this. On the other hand, non-custodial players like Sovryn Zero, Liquidity, and MakerDAO, building on non-Bitcoin Layer 1 protocols, lack the native integration and security of Bitcoin and the compatibility with Lightning Network that FUJI Labs offers.From a stablecoin perspective, FUJI's FUSD distinguishes itself from the crowd of so-called "Bitcoin-backed stablecoins." Competitors like Sovryn Bitcoin's DLLR and ZUSD and DoC (Dollar on Chain) stablecoin exhibit interesting concepts but lack the purity and association with Bitcoin that FUSD embodies. Similarly, other purported Bitcoin-backed stablecoins and tokens, such as sBTC, pBTC, renBTC, BTC++, and CWBTC, rely on non-Bitcoin protocols, and actually are nothing close to resembling a Bitcoin-backed stablecoin that is actually built on Bitcoin!FUJI Money's roadmap showcases the team's remarkable progress over the past two years. FUJI Labs has laid a solid foundation from extensive research and incubation at Vulpem Ventures to the launch of FUSD and establishing exchange listings and partnerships in 2022. Looking ahead to 2023, FUJI Labs has ambitious plans, including the launch of FUJI stocks & indexes, a mobile app with an FUSD-denominated Visa prepaid card, the prototype of the Fuji Exchange perpetual futures exchange, and the introduction of Fuji Savings. These developments further expand lending and stablecoin adoption possibilities on the FUJI platform.As FUJI Money enters its open beta phase with over 1,000 testers, it aims to integrate seamlessly into the Liquid Ecosystem and collaborate with prominent wallets like Specter, Lava, and Aqua. Exciting exchange listings on Bitfinex, BTCTurk, Bitcoin Reserve, and The Rock Trading are on the horizon, along with a Premium offering in partnership with industry leaders Nexo and Ledn. FUJI Money's GTM approach demonstrates its commitment to seamless user experiences and expanding utility, including potential collaborations with Pay with Moon and Sellix.Check out FUJI Money! ⚡️https://fuji.moneyFollow FUJI ⚡️ @FUJI_Moneyhttps://twitter.com/fuji_moneyLearn about Lightning⚡️VenturesFill out the LP Application for an expedited process and get started.https://ltng.ventures/lp-applicationLooking to raise funds for your company?

‘A modular API platform to build Lightning fast payment and remittance applications like never before.’
IBEX is a Bitcoin infrastructure-as-a-service company that builds Lightning infrastructure for enterprise clients. It is focused on making Lightning technology ‘scalable, secure, and reliable’ for businesses that are looking to use the Bitcoin network and integrate it into its operations and services.
IBEX is in its first stages of integrating Lightning at Grupo Salinas, one of LATAM’s largest conglomerates with 18K+ employees that ‘handles nearly 50% of remittances into Mexico.’ IBEX has already reached 5M of its users via its retail operations.
IBEX has already connected millions of users to the Lightning Network with existing clients including Starbucks, Dominos, KFC, Subway, Wendy’s, and Pizza Hut in El Salvador. If you heard about El Salvador’s adoption of Bitcoin, and its Chivo wallet ecosystem, IBEX’s infrastructure was an important piece of the puzzle in setting that up. In fact, at its peak, IBEX was processing 10k+ transactions/day with 99% uptime. We love it.
