Samson Mow: The Bitcoin Bull Run Has Not Started Yet

Jan3's founder Samson Mow emphasized that Bitcoin (BTC) has not yet entered a bull run, urging investors to focus on the bigger picture. Mow noted that the recent drop in Bitcoin's price does not signify the end of a bull market but rather that it is still in the early stages. ‘Bitcoin hasn’t even started its bull run. We are just barely getting ahead of inflation,’ he stated.

At the beginning of the week, Bitcoin prices fell to as low as $99,600, with analysts linking this situation to the trade tensions between the US and China and other macroeconomic factors. However, Mow pointed out that despite this seemingly negative situation, Bitcoin has outperformed against US inflation, which is above 3%, and he noted that it has significant long-term upward potential.

Mow also dismissed the concerns circulating among investors lately about “Bitcoin OGs selling.” He stated, ‘People come up with their own theories and believe that OGs are selling above $100,000. This only amplifies the fear. Bitcoin rewards those who think long-term. The price will add another zero; it’s just a matter of when.’

Additionally, Mow previously predicted that Bitcoin could reach $1 million in a short time frame, describing this rise as a ‘short but violent move.’ In a recent post, he said, ‘Bitcoin has been moving sideways throughout 2025. If you believe in cycles, it hasn’t reached its peak yet. Maybe 2026 will be the peak year, or maybe there are no more cycles. Plan accordingly.’

Mow's developed “Inverse Fear and Greed Index” is also noteworthy. While the classic “Fear and Greed Index” dropped to 23 this week, indicating an ‘extreme fear’ zone, according to Jan3's own index, the market is actually exhibiting the opposite kind of greed. The company stated, ‘The market is crying, but Bitcoiners continue to accumulate. Because Bitcoin holders fear missing out on satoshis, not falling prices.’
