Samson Mow Debunks Bitcoin FUD: ‘Not Likely Bitcoin Can Go That Low’

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in financial markets, I have seen my fair share of market crashes and recoveries. In the realm of cryptocurrencies, I find myself constantly intrigued by the passionate debates that arise around the future of Bitcoin (BTC). The recent theory suggesting a potential hard fall for BTC during a “black swan” event has sparked my interest, as it is always crucial to consider different perspectives when analyzing market trends.


In the world of cryptocurrencies, emotions like fear and greed often dictate the thoughts of investors. During debates about Bitcoin’s (BTC) future, a hypothesis has surfaced: The value of this asset could experience a significant drop in the near term due to potential “black swan” events affecting the market.

Following the theory, because Bitcoin is an easily traded asset, it may initially experience a significant drop as investors sell their holdings to cover losses from other highly leveraged investments. This period could be challenging for bullish investors and those with long, leveraged positions. However, this selloff could pave the way for a substantial, rapid recovery – a V-shaped bounce back – propelling Bitcoin to unprecedented new record highs.

Responding to this theory, Samson Mow, a prominent Bitcoin advocate, presented an alternative viewpoint. Notably, this influential figure in cryptocurrency history pointed out that historical trends suggest that Bitcoin can withstand even significant market crashes.

It seems that investors are prepared to invest significant amounts in Bitcoin, even below $50,000 per coin. We’ve observed that following market crashes, Bitcoin has bounced back swiftly when the US markets reopened. Therefore, I anticipate a similar recovery pattern during future crashes, suggesting it is unlikely that Bitcoin prices will plummet to such low levels during a Black Friday crash.

According to Mow’s perspective, Bitcoin demonstrated a robust bounce-back following the previous significant market downturn, specifically when U.S. markets resumed operations. This leads one to speculate that it may be less likely to drop below $50,000 during another potential market crash.

To recall, the recent tumble in the cryptocurrency market took place towards the end of the first week of August. On that particular day, the value of Bitcoin plummeted by over 15% and bottomed out at around $49,000 – levels not experienced since the start of the year. This decline was primarily due to concerns about a potential recession, leading investors to sell off their crypto holdings, which are generally perceived as the riskiest assets.
