In a groundbreaking move set to accelerate the global adoption of Bitcoin, JAN3 proudly announces that Nick Szabo, distinguished cryptographer and legendary cypherpunk, has joined their team as Chief Scientist.
BITCOIN CITY, El Salvador, Jan. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Nick Szabo is a computer scientist, legal scholar, and cryptographer, best known for his pioneering work on smart contracts and the conceptualization of "Bit Gold," a precursor to Bitcoin. His extensive research has significantly influenced the development of decentralized digital currencies and blockchain technologies over the years.
In his capacity as Chief Scientist, Szabo will spearhead research initiatives, exploring Bitcoin's implications on topics ranging from monetary policy to international trade, and financial sovereignty. His forthcoming publications will aim to provide in-depth analyses comparable to his seminal work, "Shelling Out: The Origins of Money," which explores the historical evolution of money and its relevance to digital currencies.
"We are very proud of the addition of Nick to the JAN3 team as we ramp up efforts to accelerate the global adoption of Bitcoin," said Samson Mow, JAN3 CEO. "I've known Nick for nearly 10 years now and have always been a big fan of his work – collaborating on advancing Bitcoin adoption just seems like a natural next step."
Leveraging Szabo's expertise, JAN3 will develop innovative strategies to support nation-states seeking to integrate Bitcoin into their financial systems. We believe that Szabo's insights will be instrumental in positioning Bitcoin as the new reserve asset in a modern financial system.
"I'm joining JAN3 to help Bitcoin become the cornerstone of an entirely new global financial system. By focusing on decentralization, and trust minimization, we can address the systemic inefficiencies of legacy systems and empower individuals, corporations, and nations to embrace true financial sovereignty," said Nick Szabo, JAN3 Chief Scientist. "I'm excited to contribute to JAN3's mission and help chart the path toward a freer and resilient global economy."
Szabo's addition to the JAN3 team marks a significant milestone in the journey towards global Bitcoin adoption. As JAN3 continues to gather leading minds in the field, the company remains steadfast in its commitment to bringing the sound money revolution mainstream, returning the power of money to individuals, rather than trusted third-parties that are security holes.
