Based Trading Cards

Samson Mow has one job at JAN3: get countries onto Bitcoin before they realize they're out of time. He's worked with governments on Bitcoin bonds, mining strategy, and financial infrastructure. El Salvador was a start. His view is that nation-state adoption won't be gradual. It'll happen suddenly, all at once, like a dam breaking. Bitcoin is the right of all sentient beings. That's his quote. Hard to argue with it. Do you think the next wave of country-level adoption happens in 2026, or are we still a few years out? Spirit of Satoshi - #CL9, 256 supply

Episode 4 is a good one. Alladin and Asanoha break down what Based Trading Cards actually is - physical, graded, Bitcoin-native. Not another NFT project. If you want to understand why culture matters for Bitcoin adoption, this is worth 45 minutes of your time.

Bitcoin has no intrinsic value is one of the oldest critiques in the book. Neither does gold, really. Value is what people agree it's worth. Always has been. Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million can't be changed by any government or central bank. That's not nothing. That's the whole point. Mises wrote that sound money protects civil liberties by limiting state power. Bitcoin just automated that constraint. Does the no intrinsic value argument still land to you, or does it feel outdated at this point? Halving Edition Whale Pack - #25

The 4th Bitcoin halving in 2024 dropped the block reward to 3.125 BTC, locking in a supply issuance rate lower than gold. We are now two years into this epoch, watching the scarcity math play out in real time. As we march toward the 5th halving in 2028, do you think the market has fully priced in the current 3.125 reward structure? #Bitcoin #BasedTradingCards Halving Edition Whale Pack — C41, Chase Card, 125 supply

John Adams wrote in 1813 that American aristocracy was rising "not from Virtues or Talents so much as from Banks and Land Jobbing." In other letters he called any bank that issues paper at interest "a Pickpocket or a Robber" and said there was no honest money but silver and gold. He wrote that 200 years before the Fed's balance sheet hit $9 trillion. If Adams were alive today, do you think he would hold Bitcoin? #Bitcoin #BasedTradingCards Warriors vs. Villains - #12, Silver, 669 supply.

Hal Finney tweeted "Running bitcoin" on January 11, 2009, the day before he received the first Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi. Eight months later he was diagnosed with ALS. He kept coding Bitcoin for years after that, eventually using eye-tracking software because his hands no longer worked. He contributed to the protocol until he physically could not. Courage isn't a concept for Bitcoiners. It's a track record. Who else in any industry has a story like that? #Bitcoin #BasedTradingCards Warriors vs. Villains — #29, 1000 supply.

2008 was the year Bitcoin launched and the year that team had nothing. The parallel writes itself. That card exists because someone thought that story deserved to be on cardboard.
