The tweet that suddenly became prophetic

It’s time to recall the tweet of former Blockstream Chief Strategy Officer and JAN3 founder Samson Mow.

In December, he staged one of those public performances that the crypto community especially loves during bullish times. Mow claimed that he had supposedly “fired an analyst who predicted Bitcoin at $60,000.” The reason: the forecast was too bearish, the belief too “wrong,” the number too unpleasant for a market that was then living in eternal optimism mode.

At the time, it looked like a joke teetering on arrogance. Bitcoin was high, sentiment even higher, and any talk of a drop was almost heresy. In crypto, there is an old tradition: while the price rises, analysis turns into religion, and doubts become a reason for exile.

Mow wrote that this person “would never work in this industry again.” The phrasing was not just sharp — it sounded like a cryptocurrency verdict. As if the market permanently cancels anyone who dared to remind that Bitcoin can not only soar but also fall. Especially fall.

And now, as BTC actually dips toward $60,000, this tweet begins to look almost like a work of art. Because the crypto market is a place where overconfidence ages faster than blocks in the chain.

The funniest part isn’t even that the prediction came close to reality. It’s how telling the industry’s psychology is: in moments of euphoria, the market doesn’t listen to the cautious, it listens to those promising $200,000 “by spring.” And then, when the price returns to earth, it suddenly becomes clear that the “fired analyst” was the only adult in the room.

A masterpiece of an analyst, if he ever existed. Because in crypto, sometimes it’s unclear who was actually fired — the person or common sense.
