Talking point: Mow has been described as the “architect” of El Salvador’s proposed US$1-billion Bitcoin bond, to be issued some time between March 15 and 20 using Blockstream’s Bitcoin-based Liquid Network, with funds raised going toward Bitcoin and regional infrastructure in a 50-50 split. He’s an outspoken and controversial figure in the Bitcoin community and played a vocal role in the “block size debate,” a pivotal schism on how to scale Bitcoin without sacrificing decentralization and security. In addition to helping countries adopt Bitcoin, Mow said he plans to spend more time working on his gaming company, Pixelmatic.
