Bitcoin has finally surged past the $50,000 mark thanks to Bitcoin ETFs continuous accumulating of massive BTC chunks over the last month. These spot-based assets were approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission one month ago, in January, and the aforementioned record price level was surpassed on February 12.
Main reason behind Bitcoin’s surge
According to VC investor and entrepreneur Anthony Pompliano, who appeared on CNBC’s Squawk Box show on Monday, Bitcoin has turned into Wall Street’s favorite asset. He pointed out that currently, while miners produce 900 BTC per day, Bitcoin ETF issuers are scooping up 12.5x that amount.
“The march to a new all-time high is underway if this continues,” Pomp tweeted.
Samson Mow’s bullish BTC statement
Bitcoin maximalist, CEO at Jan3, Samson Mow expects Bitcoin to skyrocket to the $1 million mark unexpectedly. He pointed out that in 2017, Bitcoin surged 20x within nine months “with no fundamental changes in market dynamics.”
In 2024, Bitcoin ETFs grabbing Bitcoin in gigantic amounts “are bringing 100’s of millions of dollars in inflows every day. Plan accordingly.”
Mow has already switched to counting the Bitcoin price in the “$1 million scale”, referring to $50,000 as $0.05 million, $100,000 as $0.1 million, etc.
Or if a 20x #Bitcoin increase is too much cognitive load and makes you feel like it’s impossible, just wait for $0.1M and think of it going up 10x from there.

He suggested that if somebody finds it hard to believe in Bitcoin soaring 20x quickly, they should wait for BTC to hit $100,000 and then perhaps it would be easier to expect a 10x price surge.
