Bitcoin, which is called digital gold, is nothing new, as supporters, for a long time, expected the digital asset to duplicate the growth of gold. Currently, the market cap of gold is more than 20 times that of BTC, but that has not changed the expectation that BTC will eventually become a major asset. This time around, it is Bitcoin promoter Samson Mow who again made a comparison and predicted what could happen between the two assets.
Betting With Bitcoin To Win Gold
In the X post, Samson Mow reiterated his support for BTC, but this time, the Bitcoin maximalist is against gold. According to Mow’s statements, BTC is expected to become ‘virtual gold’, a statement that speaks of how far the CEO of JAN3 expects the price of BTC to go.
Explaining the reason for giving BTC this title, Mow explains that he expects the digital asset to eventually surpass gold. As mentioned above, the market cap of gold is already more than 20 times higher than the market cap of Bitcoin; cryptocurrency will have a lot of growth to do. However, Mow remains unconcerned about this.

Considering the current Bitcoin market cap, and the total supply of the digital asset, rising enough to exceed the market cap of $35.5 million would put the price of BTC above $1.6 million. Given that the price of Bitcoin is currently hovering around $67,000 at the time of this report, it would translate into a 2,500% increase to do this.
Always Bullish On BTC
Samson Mow’s Bitcoin advocacy did not start recently, as his company, JAN3, founded back in 2022, is focused on expanding access to BTC. Through his company, Mow has focused on improving the growth and adoption of BTC by making it easier for users to access the digital asset.
Apart from the acquisition, the founder is also very bullish on the price of BTC. Back in January 2026, Mow revealed his BTC predictions for the year, which sparked a lot of interest. As he explained, he expects the BTC price to reach as high as $1.33 million per coin.
Other predictions include at least one country eventually introducing Bitcoin Bonds, and billionaire Elon Musk making a big cryptocurrency play. Also, the stock price of Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) is expected to reach $5,000, and finally, BTC is expected to eventually outperform metals such as gold.
