Bet on it. Ethereum’s been on a tear lately, pushing prices sky-high, flashing those green numbers like a superstar under the spotlight.
But here comes Samson Mow, one of the OG Bitcoin dons, king of the maximalists, with a prophecy so unhinged it’s got the crypto community raising eyebrows.
There’s no second best?
“When Ethereum gets too hot, those same people will turn tail and sprint back to Bitcoin.”
Now, before you get your hopes up thinking Ether’s gonna stay king of the hill forever, Sam’s got a spicy little narrative. The big players, those insiders with pockets full of Bitcoin from way back in the ICO days, are swapping their BTC for ETH, pumping it with new stories.
The latest buzz is about Ethereum Treasury companies and all that jazz. It’s like a game of musical chairs, but instead of chairs, it’s coins, and when the music stops?
Boom! Price hits a high, and guess what? The insiders unload their ETH, leaving behind a fresh batch of bagholders guess what?
Holding the bag while those insiders rotate their gains right back into Bitcoin.

Downward trendline
He even throws shade at Ethereum’s chances of breaking its previous all-time highs, saying the psychological wall is just too strong.
The closer ETH gets, the louder the sell squad rallies. That ETH-to-BTC ratio?
Yeah, it’s broken its downward trendline, but Sam just shrugs it off, Ethereum’s always just been a backstage pass for people who really want more Bitcoin in their lives.
Old school Bitcoin maxis coping about ETH is actually one of the most bullish things imaginable.

But not everyone’s crying over this. Ethereum champ Anthony Sassano calls this old-school maxism out for what it is and points to ETH’s rally as a bullish sign.
Investor Ted Pillows adds flavor to the story, expect Ether to spike to new highs, triggering a mini altseason, before the rollercoaster swings back to Bitcoin, possibly zooming up to $140K.
And then, in a classic crypto dance, capital flows back into altcoins again. It’s a cycle as old as the crypto market. So not that old, but old enough.
The original king
The numbers tell a quite interesting story, Ethereum just closed the week at its highest candle since late 2021, hitting over $4,300.
That’s just 12% away from its ATH. Institutional money’s thrown in, DeFi platforms are booming, and yield farming strategies are dragging users right back into the game.
So Ethereum’s sizzling, no doubt. But don’t be surprised if, once the buzz hits fever pitch, those savvy holders do the classic switcheroo, cashing their ETH chips to double down on the original king, Bitcoin.
It’s the never-ending tale of crypto love and betrayal, dance and duel, where today’s hero might just be tomorrow’s sidekick. Are you not entertained?
