Samson Mow, CEO of Jan3, a Bitcoin adoption firm, recently reignited discussions on two crucial aspects of the cryptocurrency: user privacy and future price trajectory. In a thought-provoking conversation, Mow referenced Satoshi Nakamoto’s privacy vision from the Bitcoin white paper, emphasizing its continued relevance.
Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, envisioned a system where privacy wouldn’t rely on trusted third parties, like traditional banks. Instead, the pioneering crypto employs a system of anonymous private keys.
While transactions are publicly recorded on the blockchain, the identities of those involved remain concealed. This approach offers a unique solution to the privacy concern that plagues many digital transactions.
However, the question of privacy in Bitcoin remains a tightrope walk. While anonymity safeguards user information, the public nature of the blockchain raises concerns about transparency. Regulators and law enforcement grapple with the potential for misuse, highlighting the need for a balanced approach.
Mow’s emphasis on privacy reflects ongoing efforts to find this equilibrium and preserve the decentralized spirit of cryptocurrencies.
Beyond privacy, Mow examined the ever-volatile world of crypto price predictions. He introduced the concept of “Omega Bitcoin candles,” representing extended periods of intense market activity characterized by high price swings.
The CEO believes the recent halving, which cut block rewards in half, coupled with the demand surge from spot Bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds), could trigger the emergence of these Omega candles.
The theory hinges on the interplay of supply and demand shocks. The halving creates a supply shock by limiting the number of new Bitcoins entering circulation. Simultaneously, spot ETFs are rapidly acquiring significant amounts of the cryptocurrency, creating a corresponding demand shock.

Mow argues that this convergence has the potential to propel the crypto asset towards the highly anticipated price milestone of $1 million.
Caution Urged Amidst Market Volatility
While his Omega candle theory presents an intriguing perspective, it’s crucial to acknowledge the inherent volatility of the cryptocurrency market. Accurately predicting Bitcoin’s price movements remains a formidable challenge.
