Bitcoin Isn't Failing as a Hedge Because It Never Was One, Says Industry Veteran

Samson Mow argues the market fundamentally misunderstands Bitcoin, treating it like a tech stock when it's actually on track to become a global reserve asset. The fiat price volatility misses the bigger picture.

Here's a fun take: Bitcoin (BTC) isn't failing as a protective hedge because, well, it was never supposed to be one in the first place. That's the argument from industry veteran Samson Mow, who thinks the entire market is still missing the point.

Mow's perspective is that Bitcoin's fiat-denominated price swings only look chaotic because people keep treating it like a tech stock or some speculative risk asset. Even when Bitcoin was trading above $110,000, it was only modestly beating inflation. At today's levels, he believes it's deeply oversold when you look at the actual fundamentals.

Nothing about the long-term thesis has changed, according to Mow. Bitcoin is still marching toward becoming a global reserve asset. The macro backdrop supports this: rising liquidity, expanding fiat supply, Bitcoin's fixed issuance, the halving-driven supply squeeze, and growing adoption from both corporations and nation-states. Merchant acceptance and Lightning Network integration keep ticking upward too.

Why does this matter? Mow points to the structural problems in the fiat system—runaway debt, unchecked government spending, the whole mess. That's exactly why major accumulators like Strategy (MSTR) keep buying aggressively. They believe the opportunity to stack Bitcoin at these prices won't last much longer.

Mow's conclusion cuts straight to it: "Bitcoin is not a protective hedge. It's the final destination, the endgame." He added that Bitcoin has never been closer to true mass adoption, and investors should prepare accordingly.
