The Fight For Bitcoin’s Future | Samson Mow

Samson Mow is the CEO of JAN3 and former CSO at Blockstream. 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 discuss 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
