SAN SALVADOR – Samson Mow, the CEO of JAN3 and a prominent figure in the Bitcoin community, has clarified his stance on investing in El Salvador, emphasizing his continued commitment to the country. This statement comes amidst reports from opposition media suggesting that Mow had criticized the Salvadoran government's Bitcoin policies.

Mow took to his X (formerly Twitter) account to address these reports, stating, "Our commitment remains intact, and we will continue to do business in the country." He refuted claims that he had attacked the Salvadoran government, urging media outlets not to misinterpret his statements as "accusations" or criticisms.

"I am not a critic of the government," Mow clarified. "I am simply seeking clarifications on Bitcoin-related policies, as are many Bitcoiners who have moved to El Salvador. We are just looking for answers, nothing more, nothing less."

Mow also highlighted his recognition of President Nayib Bukele as a strong ally of Bitcoin and a stabilizing force for El Salvador. "We, along with others in the Bitcoin community, recognize that President Nayib Bukele has been a great ally of Bitcoin and a stabilizing force for El Salvador," he stated. "In any way we can, we support El Salvador and its continued path to prosperity."

Furthermore, Mow dispelled rumors that he or his company, JAN3, which has had a presence in El Salvador since 2021, were abandoning the country. "Our commitment remains intact, and we will continue to do business in the country. And as long as I am welcome, I will continue to visit as well, God willing," the crypto investor affirmed.

Mow's clarification comes at a time when El Salvador's Bitcoin policies are under scrutiny. The country made history in 2021 by adopting Bitcoin as legal tender, a move spearheaded by President Bukele. While this decision has garnered international attention and praise from Bitcoin proponents, it has also faced criticism and raised questions about the country's economic stability and regulatory framework.

JAN3, Mow's company, has been actively involved in El Salvador's Bitcoin initiatives. The company focuses on Bitcoin infrastructure and development, aiming to accelerate Bitcoin adoption and build a more inclusive financial system.

Mow's reaffirmation of his commitment to El Salvador underscores the ongoing interest and investment in the country's Bitcoin experiment. As El Salvador continues to navigate its unique path in the world of cryptocurrency, the support and engagement of key figures like Samson Mow remain crucial.
