Samson Mow’s Stance on Bitcoin and Ethereum
Samson Mow, the founder and CEO of Bitcoin 
$ 0.000018-focused company JAN3, argues against the notion that Ethereum 
$ 4,644 will surpass Bitcoin (ETH/BTC), predicting a potential dip in the ETH/BTC pair to 0.03 or even lower. With 768,400 ETH set for unstaking within 13 days, equating to an approximate value of 3.5 billion dollars, Mow highlights the potential selling pressure that could result. He points out that while current market attention seems predominantly focused on altcoins, Bitcoin will likely reclaim its prominence once the altcoin enthusiasm wanes.
Analysis of Mow’s ETH/BTC Prediction
In a shared screenshot, Mow spotlights the significant queue of 768,400 ETH awaiting unstaking. He emphasizes that the unlocking and potential selling of such a substantial amount of staked coins could exert downward pressure on Ethereum, with the possibility of funds flowing to Bitcoin. “Flippening will never happen, but unstaking is coming,” encapsulates Mow’s position on the matter.
For those unfamiliar, in the cryptocurrency realm, “flippening” refers to the speculative scenario where Ethereum (or another cryptocurrency) overtakes Bitcoin in key metrics like market capitalization, thereby claiming the leading position.
Mow acknowledges Bitcoin’s current weakness, with interest shifting towards altcoins. He outlines two potential scenarios: either Bitcoin surges with a “Godzilla/Omega” type bullish candle, causing altcoins to dip by 30–40%, or altcoin enthusiasts reach a peak followed by a steep drop, temporarily dragging Bitcoin down before it rebounds as altcoins decrease.
Impact of Tom Lee’s Ethereum Predictions
Mow’s comments come in response to Fundstrat’s Tom Lee, who predicts Ethereum will surpass Bitcoin. Lee argues that Ethereum is underpriced at its current value and should be nearer to $6,000.
Lee’s stance has received criticism partly because, despite heading BitMine Immersion Technology (BMNR), which holds Ethereum reserves, it still bears Bitcoin’s logo. While Mow disputes the “flippening” narrative, he suggests the impending unstake wave could tip the balance in Bitcoin’s favor.
According to CryptoAppsy, ETH was trading at $4,639, marking a 2.64% decrease in the past 24 hours, with the ETH/BTC pair at 0.03900 as this article was drafted.
