BITCOIN CITY, EL SALVADOR, September 3, 2022 – His Royal Highness Hereditary Prince Philip of Serbia and Yugoslavia, also known as Prince Filip Karađorđević, is joining Bitcoin startup JAN3 as Chief Strategy Officer. As CSO, Prince Philip will engage with high-level actors and monitor strategic initiatives to accelerate Bitcoin adoption for nation states and individuals. Prince Philip previously worked as an analyst at a prestigious global asset management firm. His experience in finance and interactions with high-level decision makers make him well-suited for this new role, where he will advance the company’s mission to accelerate hyperbitcoinization.
Samson MowCEO of JAN3, said:
“We are very pleased and fortunate to have Prince Philip join JAN3 as CSO. His unique background, family tradition in statecraft and skills in finance will allow us to have high-level conversations and initiatives about Bitcoin that would not otherwise happen. I can I can’t think of anyone more qualified than Prince Philip to help us drive these strategic conversations and initiatives at the national level, in Latin America and around the world.”
Prince Philip has worked extensively in the financial sector in London, helping clients analyze macro trends, understand their implications and make key capital allocation decisions. His experience in the old world of finance has opened his eyes to the inefficiencies of the industry, which is in dire need of an upgrade.
Prince Philip said:
“Violations of human rights and freedoms marked the communist era in SFR Yugoslavia. In the 1990s, it suffered the third worst ever hyperinflation in history and its subsequent hardships. We need hard money immune to inflation, and Bitcoin is the solution as digital gold for the 21st century. It is important to think about individuals and their property rights and freedoms; otherwise we risk losing everything and entering the dark ages again. I am enthusiastic about joining JAN3 and its mission to accelerate hyperbitcoinization. Bitcoin is freedom, something I want for Serbia and the world”.
HRH Hereditary Prince Philip comes from an illustrious line of ancestors. On his mother’s side, HRH Princess María da Glória of Orléans-Bragança is the great-granddaughter of HIM Emperor Pedro II, the last Emperor of Brazil. Emperor Pedro II’s fierce opposition to slavery made way for the emancipation of slaves in the country. On his father’s side, HRH Crown Prince Alexander is a descendant of Karađorđe Petrović, revolutionary leader and founder of the Karadjordje dynasty. Karadjordje led the first revolt against the Ottoman Empire, eventually leading to Serbia’s independence.
