The Fight For Bitcoin’s Future | Samson Mow
(A)Samson Mow is the CEO of JAN3 and a long-time Bitcoin advocate. In this episode, we get into the growing rift between Bitcoin Core and Knots, why mistrust in Core development is at an all-time high, and what it means for the future of the network. We explore the battle over spam and data storage on-chain, whether Bitcoin should ossify or adapt, and how governance really works in Bitcoin. Samson breaks down why the UTXO set could become a systemic risk, how mempool fragmentation is reshaping the network, and why multiple implementations of Bitcoin may be both a blessing and a curse. In this episode: - The origins of the Core vs. Knots debate - Spam, filters, and the slippery slope of arbitrary data on Bitcoin - UTXO bloat, miner incentives, and decentralization risks - How nation-state adoption may trigger the suddenly moment for Bitcoin THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS: IREN RIVER ANCHORWATCH BLOCKWARE LEDN BITKEY Follow: Danny Knowles: https://x.com/_DannyKnowles or https://primal.net/danny Samson Mow: https://x.com/Excellion
