Samson Mow: Building an Open Financial System and the Aqua Wallet

Samson Mow, CEO of Jan3, discusses the strategies for an open financial system using Bitcoin and the Aqua Wallet. Jan3 aims to accelerate hyper Bitcoinization and bring Bitcoin to more people. They have a two-pronged approach: working with governments to implement Bitcoin strategies and grassroots adoption through the Aqua Wallet.

The Aqua Wallet is a non-custodial wallet that allows users to store Bitcoin, Liquid Bitcoin, and Tether. It provides utility and on/off ramps to different networks, making it easier for users to transact in Bitcoin. The goal is to onboard the next billion people into Bitcoin.
