The longtime lawyer for Bitcoin Samson Mow has described two very different potential paths for the market. In one, Bitcoin “Goes Godzilla”, absorbing the liquidity of the market, resulting in a fall of Altcoin.
Mow suggested another possibility of an “Altcoin Mania”, which would encourage a pointed bitcoin sale before the largest cryptocurrency finds its place.
Two possible paths for #Bitcoin NOW.
1⃣ We Godzilla or Omega, lets all the oxygen of the room and the alts drop 30 to 40%.
2⃣ Alt Mania Peaks, triggering a massive sale while the dilemma of the Bagholder loses balance, BTC goes down briefly and then upwards, as a alts reservoir.

Bitcoin Advocate has also revised his theory of his “Bagholder dilemma”, arguing that Ethereum could have trouble going beyond its previous summit. Indeed, holders are tempted to sell near the levels of psychological resistance. However, he thinks it is a challenge that Bitcoin is less likely to face.

Altcoins flows hot
In a separate post, Mow predicted that Bitcoin could see a short -term decline because Altcoins performs “too hot” while traders are looking for the next big crypto.
There will be more Bitcoin Aths, but I think we will see a step back because the alts are too hot now. Once the Altcoin Mania passes, Bitcoin will take off. This is how it has always been.

In particular, Bitcoin’s domination has slipped below 60% for the first time since January. This occurs while “Altcoin” research on Google has reached their highest level since 2021, with a “Ethereum” research interest reaching a two -year peak.
Institutional interest also develops on the Altcoin market, as the United States has seen 31 Altcoin ETF applications in the first half of 2025.
Altcoin market capitalization has increased by almost 26% since recovery of the level of $ 250 billion. Historically, it often extends beyond but ends up failing at around $ 315 billion, according to Crypto Rekt Capital analyst.

The analyst explains that altcoins must succeed in switching the level of $ 315 billion in solid support for a lasting movement higher.
