Recently, an interesting discussion has been heating up in the community. Samson Mow, founder of Jan3, believes that Tesla CEO Elon Musk is very likely to make a large-scale investment in Bitcoin by 2026.

Why has this judgment emerged? A review of history makes it clear. In May 2021, Tesla suspended Bitcoin payment services. By July 2022, they had liquidated about 75% of their Bitcoin holdings. At that time, many people thought Musk might have lost interest in Bitcoin. But Mow's view is that this attitude could reverse.

Regarding the price, Mow has given a rather aggressive prediction — Bitcoin could reach $1,330,000 by 2026. He emphasizes that more and more countries are accelerating the adoption of Bitcoin, and this trend will become a key driver of long-term growth.

However, not all industry insiders share this view. Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, is relatively cautious. He believes that in the next 12 months, Bitcoin is more likely to experience steady growth, with a low probability of extreme fluctuations or explosive gains.

Elon Musk is such a mysterious guy. He says sell and he sells, he says buy and he buys. Who knows what he's thinking next... 1.33 million is too surreal. I still trust Hougan's steady upward growth logic more. Mow's prediction feels a bit like throwing a tantrum, just to prove Elon Musk will change his mind? That time when he cleared 75% really cut a lot of people's leeks. Now you're supposed to believe he'll reverse again? Forget it, forget it. The real key is the practical application of Bitcoin; price speculation is ultimately虚的.

Elon Musk is just the guy who likes to pull sudden reversals; no one can predict him. --- $1.33 million? Just listen, don't take it seriously. --- Mow is probably just making up stories; when Elon Musk was liquidating, the attitude should have been clear. --- Hougan is more reliable; steady growth is the normal rhythm. --- Every time someone makes big predictions, the result is always a painful slap in the face. --- 2026 is too far away; let's focus on next year first. --- Bitcoin application landing? We've been talking about this for so many years. --- Whether Elon Musk invests or not doesn't affect our decision to cut losses, haha. --- The logic of national-level applications does have some substance. --- Another "possible" or "hopeful"—these words are used quite skillfully.

That guy Musk is just outrageous. Selling off 75% and then going all in again? I think this guy just likes to create buzz... 1.33 million is way too crazy. It's better to listen to Hougan, he's more reliable.

Elon Musk, this guy, flips his attitude faster than flipping a book. Those who believe his words are the ones who lose. As for Samson's prediction, how should I put it? 1.33 million is a bit too dreamy, but there is indeed a chance for national-level applications. I think Hougan, the conservative type, is more reliable. I'm tired of the hype stories of sudden surges. It's already good enough to see if we can make it to 2026; don't think too far ahead. Ultimately, it still depends on how institutions invest real money; empty talk doesn't count.

Is Elon Musk going to short Bitcoin again? This guy changes his mind faster than flipping through a book. --- $1.33 million... Is this prediction too optimistic? Mow is dreaming again. --- Instead of guessing whether Musk will buy, it's better to look at the adoption rate at the national level—that's real money. --- After clearing 75%, how come there's another big buy so soon? I just want to know what exactly happened in between. --- Steady rise vs. sharp increase... Anyway, retail investors probably can't make any profit, right? --- It's always a story about 2026. I'll see if I make it that far first. --- The key is adoption; otherwise, no matter how many big names endorse, it's all just talk. --- Elon Musk is too capricious. Trusting him is less reliable than trusting the technology itself. --- Wait, why does it have to be Musk's investment? The country and institutions are the real focus. --- I just want to know what data Mow's prediction is based on, or is it just pure talk?

1.33 million USD, what is this guy smoking... Did Elon Musk reverse his stance and invest in Bitcoin? I think this is just another round of the "dream weaving contest" in the circle. The more people believe, the more the story becomes truth.
