After the meeting, Mow shared in a June 21 post on X:
Looking forward to starting a nation-state Bitcoin adoption wave in France and perhaps all of Europe.
Since leaving his role at Blockstream in March 2022, Mow has focused on helping governments explore Bitcoin strategies through his company, Jan3.
Knafo confirmed the meeting and said in a post on X, “Excellent discussions with Samson Mow, an expert on Bitcoin adoption by states, who has advised the President of El Salvador and many others”. She added that France needs to act on this topic.
While in Prague, Knafo also spoke with Michael Saylor, the founder of Strategy. She described him as forward-thinking and said that more Bitcoin-related projects could be coming soon, both in France and across Europe.
