Samson Mow: “The future belongs to Bitcoin”

• “Every morning I'm surprised the US dollar still exists,” says Bitcoin expert Samson Mow in an interview. Instead of fiat money, he says, hard assets like gold—and increasingly, BTC—are shifting into focus.
• This year, the price of gold has already risen by 40 percent – analysts expect similar movements for Bitcoin.
• Paradoxically, a key driver of Bitcoin adoption could be the simplicity of institutional structures, according to Mow. Nations that have previously built up gold reserves could also invest in BTC via ETFs in the future. While the direct purchase and custody of Bitcoin are complex for states, access to an ETF is “just a click away.”
• Geopolitical developments also play a role: The confiscation of Russian central bank reserves by the US has shown that the dollar is no longer a safe store of value. Foresighted countries are therefore increasingly turning to alternatives – and BTC is becoming increasingly attractive.
• Latin America is considered a laboratory for new monetary policy models. In addition to El Salvador's approach of declaring BTC legal tender, Argentina's President Javier Milei is pursuing a libertarian path: complete deregulation, allowing citizens to freely decide which currency they trade—even “with cows or milk.” This model could be more feasible for many countries than an official Bitcoin legal tender regulation.
• But the biggest hurdle remains politics itself: States that misuse money as a tool of control will sooner or later reach their limits. Examples like Nigeria show that central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) find little acceptance if the population prefers Bitcoin. Ultimately, the forecast is that “necessity will prevail over adoption”: trading partners will no longer accept dollars – and states will have no choice but to use Bitcoin.
• “Fiat money is the experiment – BTC is the return to the original,” said the Bitcoiner, who is working on BTC adoption by states.
• Anyone who wants to take advantage of Bitcoin and gold will find a simple and regulated platform at Bitpanda. In addition to cryptocurrencies, traditional precious metals like gold and silver can also be purchased there around the clock. This allows investors to flexibly invest between digital money and timeless stores of value – all in one place.
