In this "Lessons" episode, Samson Mow, CEO of Pixelmatic and JAN3, breaks down the true essence of Bitcoin, critiques altcoins like Ethereum, and explains why decentralization is the cornerstone of sound money. Explore the pitfalls of centralized cryptocurrencies, the concept of hyper-Bitcoinization, and the risks of smart contracts and DeFi.
Bitcoin as Decentralized Money: Samson emphasizes that Bitcoin is decentralized, immutable, and permissionless—qualities that make it a true form of sound money. He describes Bitcoin as a store of value, a medium of exchange, and a unit of account, distinguishing it from centralized altcoins masquerading as decentralized.
Hyper-Bitcoinization Defined: Samson introduces the concept of hyper-Bitcoinization, a future where Bitcoin becomes the global standard for money, eliminating the need to convert back to fiat currencies. He likens this transition to the obsolescence of older forms of money like seashells.
Challenges of Smart Contracts and DeFi: Highlighting the vulnerabilities in DeFi and smart contracts, Samson points out frequent hacks and backdoors built into many projects. He warns that these constructs are often insecure, centralized, and driven by speculative Silicon Valley investments rather than genuine utility.
