Samson Mow Forecasts Decade-Long Bitcoin Rally Following 2025 Market Volatility
New York, Sunday, 28 December 2025.
Jan3 founder Samson Mow argues 2025’s volatility was actually a “stealth bear phase,” predicting an unprecedented decade-long rally that could drive Bitcoin to $1 million through a massive “Omega Candle.”
Analyzing the “Stealth Bear” Hypothesis
As 2025 draws to a close, Jan3 founder Samson Mow has challenged prevailing market sentiment by characterizing the year’s price action as a “stealth bear phase” rather than a cyclical top [1]. While some analysts fear the onset of a traditional downturn, Mow argues that Bitcoin has completed this corrective phase and is now positioned for a bull market that could span the next ten years [1][2]. This long-term projection suggests that the volatility experienced throughout 2025 was merely a precursor to a more sustained period of growth, potentially breaking the four-year cycle pattern often associated with the asset [2].
The Mechanics of Conviction and Supply
Central to this bullish thesis is the relationship between investor education and asset retention. Mow emphasizes that a deep understanding of Bitcoin’s fundamental properties—specifically its scarcity, decentralization, and censorship resistance—naturally leads to higher conviction among holders [4]. In a statement made on December 25, 2025, he asserted, “No one that understands Bitcoin, wants less Bitcoin” [4]. This logic suggests that as more investors grasp the mechanics of the 21 million coin supply cap, the available circulating supply will diminish as holders refuse to sell.
Broader Digital Asset Landscape
While Bitcoin dominates the narrative regarding long-term stores of value, the broader cryptocurrency market presents a complex ecosystem as 2025 concludes. Investor discussions highlight the specific utilities of other major assets; for instance, Ethereum remains the backbone of the Web3 economy, powering the majority of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and NFT protocols [5]. Similarly, Solana is favored for its high speed and low costs, making it ideal for payments and gaming, while Chainlink is recognized for its role in bridging real-world data with smart contracts [5].
