Quick overview

  • Confidence in Bitcoin's long-term prospects is increasing, with expectations for a significant rally around 2026.
  • Samson Mow highlights that Bitcoin is currently outperforming inflation and is consolidating between $60,000 and $65,000.
  • Institutional participation is on the rise, with major firms like BlackRock and Fidelity expanding their Bitcoin ETF portfolios.
  • The simplicity and resistance to change of Bitcoin are viewed as its greatest strengths by many in the community.

Despite price stability, confidence in Bitcoin’s long term is building. Samson Mow, CEO of Jan3, a Bitcoin infrastructure company, thinks this is the calm before the next big rally. On October 9th, Mow tweeted that Bitcoin is “marginally outperforming inflation” and the bull run hasn’t started yet.

He expects the next big cycle to happen around 2026 with increasing institutional participation and supply constrained. Mow’s view comes as global macro conditions, higher inflation and big money coming back into the picture are shaping the long term narrative for Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is consolidating around $60,000-$65,000, showing resilience in the face of volatility. Analysts agree that this kind of stability often precedes big breakouts as supply tightens due to halving cycles and institutional demand.

Institutional Momentum

Mow said President Donald Trump’s executive order to create a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is a sign of the world shifting towards Bitcoin adoption, but official accumulation has not started yet. This political and institutional recognition could be the foundation for the next wave of inflows.

According to Glassnode, the percentage of Bitcoin held by long term investors is above 70%, showing market conviction. BlackRock and Fidelity are also expanding their Bitcoin ETF portfolios and bringing in billions of dollars in inflows.

Key factors to be optimistic about:

  • Institutional exposure through ETFs and custodial products.
  • Supply tightening due to halving and long term holding trends.
  • Global policy shifts recognizing Bitcoin as a strategic asset.
  • Market structure is resilient in the face of macro uncertainty.

This means the next rally could be bigger and more sustained than previous cycles.

Bitcoin’s Strength is Simplicity

Mow reiterated his view that Bitcoin’s design is perfect the way it is. “I am happy with Bitcoin as is. I don’t need new features or more programmability,” he said.

This is a growing sentiment among Bitcoin maximalists who believe that its simplicity and resistance to change is its greatest strength. Unlike altcoins that are always evolving, Bitcoin’s value is in being decentralized and censorship resistant money.

As optimism builds and institutional momentum grows, many think 2026 will be the year where Bitcoin becomes a core part of the global financial system.
