Samson Mow, chief strategy officer at bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream since 2017 and an advisor to El Salvador during its bitcoin adoption, announced that he is leaving the company to focus on promoting “nation-state adoption of bitcoin.”

Mow indicated that Mexico is “on the list” of countries that could adopt Bitcoin as legal tender.

“I plan to focus on Bitcoin adoption by nation-state” Mow posted on Twitter, adding “it seems like a turning point in Bitcoin’s evolution now – we are on the verge of mass adoption, and I think I can make it happen quicker”.

Today is my last day with @Blockstream. It's been a grand adventure working with @adam3us for the last 5 years and together we've accomplished a great deal from sidechains, to mining, to satellites. So what’s next? I plan to focus on nation-state #Bitcoin adoption! 🍊💊🌎

Last month, Mow had an exchange with the third richest man in Mexico, Ricardo Salinas Pliego, in which they discussed Bitcoin mining.

In addition, he posted a photo of himself with Mexican Senator Indira Kempis, who is working to make Bitcoin legal tender in the country.

The bitcoin price is up more than 20% since falling below $35k last week. This week, Bitcoin and crypto prices soared this week as sanctions on Russia pushed people towards Bitcoin.

With everything happening at light speed in El Salvador, and more and more countries interested in adopting #Bitcoin, I found my time each day just no longer enough anymore. Also, as @InfiniteFleet nears Beta, more of my attention is being demanded by the @Pixelmatic team.
