Bitcoin at $0.5K? Samson Mow and Charlie Lee Clash Sparks Heated Debate

7/15/2025, 8:03:22 AM
Will Bitcoin fall to $0.5k? Samson Mow and Charlie Lee are engaging in a heated debate on social media, sparking intense discussions in the market about the price trend of Bitcoin.

Samson Mow: $112,000 is not enough, he’s eyeing millions.

Bitcoin surged to a historic high of $112,000 on July 10, becoming the brightest star in the cryptocurrency market. However, for steadfast Bitcoin believer and JAN3 CEO Samson Mow, this number is still far from enough.

He posted on social media: “$0.112M is not interesting, $0.5M is worth paying attention to.” Mow is known for his extreme bullishness, firmly believing that Bitcoin will eventually soar to $1,000,000. He has stated that this leap will not be linear growth, but rather a “structural market with a violent explosion in a short period.”

Charlie Lee: Is $0.5k also “interesting”? Implication sparks heated discussion.

Charlie Lee is the founder of Litecoin (LTC) and an important figure in the early cryptocurrency space. He commented under Mow’s tweet: “$0.5k is also interesting!” This comment quickly sparked discussion.

Mow immediately responded, “You mean Litecoin, right?” implying in a teasing tone that BTC could never fall back to $500, a price that might be more suitable for describing LTC.

This interaction seemed like a joke, but it also revealed the fundamental differences between the two regarding the trend of Bitcoin.

Will BTC fall to $0.5k? Reality and logical analysis

Let’s analyze calmly: Is it really possible for Bitcoin to plummet to $500? Currently, the total market capitalization of BTC has exceeded $2 trillion, accounting for half of the cryptocurrency market. Considering the number of institutional investors, mainstream acceptance, and network effects, such a “return to the starting point” fall is almost impossible to occur in a normal market.

However, we cannot ignore black swan events. For example, extreme situations such as government regulation, global liquidity exhaustion, and technical vulnerabilities could theoretically trigger a price crash. However, from historical experience, even at the deepest point of a bear market, BTC has never fallen below $3,000.

Current market sentiment: Strong bulls are still dominant.

As of July 15, Bitcoin remains stable above $110,000. On-chain data shows that the number of holding addresses continues to grow, and there are no significant signs of selling pressure from long-term holders. The market generally expects BTC to potentially challenge $150,000 in the second half of the year.

The long positions of traders in the futures market have also increased significantly, indicating that bullish sentiment remains strong.

Summary: Mow is a bullish spokesperson, Lee is the “humorous rationalist”.

This public opinion battle may just be a “coin circle joke,” but it reminds us that market predictions have never been a black and white game. Whether it’s $0.5k or $0.5M, investors should pay more attention to the underlying fundamental logic and risk management.

Conclusion: Bitcoin to Hit $0.5k? This question itself is a semantic game. However, its emergence reflects that the heat and controversy in the coin circle have never dissipated.
