Samson Mow, a prominent Bitcoin advocate known for repeatedly predicting a $1 million Bitcoin price, said he does not take recent bearish price targets seriously and claimed he fired an analyst who forecast Bitcoin would fall to $60,000.
Mow escalated his criticism in a post on X on Dec 21, writing:
“I’ve fired the analyst that said Bitcoin is going to $60k. He will never work in this industry again.”
The post did not identify the analyst or clarify their role, and it drew mixed reactions from the crypto community, with many interpreting the comment as satirical rather than literal.
Still, the remark struck a nerve at a time when bearish price calls are clashing sharply with bullish narratives across the market.

Is Mow taking a jab at Tom Lee?
Online speculation quickly linked Mow’s comment to Fundstrat, a well-known market research firm, whose recent internal note warned of a potential Bitcoin drop to the $60,000–$65,000 range.
In a note dated Dec. 17, Sean Farrell, Fundstrat’s head of digital assets strategy, cautioned clients that a significant crypto correction could unfold in the first half of 2026.
The internal outlook set target ranges of $60,000–$65,000 for Bitcoin, $1,800–$2,000 for Ether (ETH), and $50–$75 for Solana (SOL).
The note contrasted sharply with public comments from Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee, who has consistently struck a far more bullish tone in media appearances.
In an interview with Wealthion published on Nov. 29 and later during Binance Blockchain Week, Lee suggested that Bitcoin could reach $250,000.
Some of Lee’s bullish calls were partially validated when Bitcoin reached new all-time highs in October 2025, though several predictions missed their original timelines.
Farrell later clarified that the diverging views do not reflect an internal disagreement. He said Fundstrat uses multiple analytical frameworks depending on client profiles, risk tolerance, and investment horizons.
According to Farrell, his research targets clients with large crypto exposure who are sensitive to drawdowns, while Lee’s public commentary is aimed at institutions considering smaller, long-term allocations.

then
. So everything after that is closing tags. No more content.
Thus final content ends before that removed paragraph. We’ll keep all content before the removed paragraph.
Thus final snippet ends at
of "Bullish traders point…"? Actually after the last paragraph preceding removed, there’s
with "Bullish traders point to technical setups …" Then
with Related …? Wait let’s step after removed block: In original snippet after that removed paragraph it is:
Related: Tom Lee sees $10,000 Ethereum price target after launching Bitmine treasury play
This story was originally published by TheStreet …
So we remove the second paragraph (source). But the first paragraph with "Related: Tom Lee…" stays. Then the
removed portion. Then closing tags.
So final content should include
Related: Tom Lee sees $10,000 Ethereum price target after launching Bitmine treasury play
but not the i paragraph. We still need the paragraph after that? Actually after removed
no more content.
Also, the snippet earlier had
Related: Tom Lee sees $10,000 Ethereum price target after launching Bitmine treasury play
preceding the
. That should remain.
Additionally, check for "This story was originally published …" removal. Good.
Now we must ensure the final snippet includes the last paragraph "Bullish traders point to technical setups and long-term forecasts, including Bernstein’s projection of $200,000 by 2027, while bears warn that weakening spot demand could trigger further downside. Adding to the caution, Standard Chartered recently cut its 2026 Bitcoin forecast to $150,000 from $300,000." Then

Now we need to make sure all tags close.
Let’s reconstruct final snippet.
