Samson Mow, CEO of Jan3, a bitcoin adoption company, recently reignited discussions about 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 would not depend on trusted third parties, such as traditional banks. Instead, pioneering cryptography uses a system of anonymous private keys.
While transactions are publicly recorded on the blockchain, the identities of those involved remain hidden. This approach offers a unique solution to the privacy problem that plagues many digital transactions.
bitcoin: balance between transparency and anonymity
However, the issue of privacy in bitcoin remains a tightrope walk. While anonymity protects user information, the public nature of blockchain raises concerns about transparency. Regulators and law enforcement are fighting the potential for misuse, highlighting the need for a balanced approach.
Mow's emphasis on privacy reflects ongoing efforts to find this balance and preserve the decentralized spirit of cryptocurrencies.

Privacy can still be maintained by interrupting the flow of information elsewhere: by keeping public keys anonymous. The public can see that someone is sending an amount to another person, but without information linking the transaction to anyone.

Omega Candles: A Glimpse of bitcoin's Millionaire Future?
Beyond privacy, Mow examined the ever-volatile world of crypto price predictions Introduced the concept of “Omega bitcoin candles,” which represent prolonged periods of intense market activity characterized by high price swings.
The CEO believes that the recent halving, which halved block rewards, along with increased demand for spot bitcoin ETFs (exchange-traded funds), could trigger the appearance of these Omega candles. .

The theory revolves around the interaction of supply and demand shocks. The halving creates a supply shock by limiting the number of new Bitcoins entering circulation. At the same time, spot ETFs are rapidly acquiring significant amounts of the cryptocurrency, creating a corresponding demand shock.

Mow maintains that this convergence has the potential to propel the crypto asset towards the much-anticipated $1 million price milestone.
Caution Advised Amid Market Volatility
While his Omega candle theory presents an intriguing perspective, it is crucial to recognize the inherent volatility of the cryptocurrency market. Accurately predicting bitcoin price movements remains a formidable challenge.
