Samson Mow, former Blockstream CSO and now the chief executive officer at a Bitcoin adoption-focused company Jan3, is a radical Bitcoin maximalist.

As the day of the SEC when it is due to reveal its decision on spot Ethereum ETFs is drawing closer, Mow began to slam Ethereum-based ETFs. In a recent tweet, this “$1 million Bitcoin” advocate wrote that he is expecting them to be beaten by Bitcoin-based ones.

Besides, he believes now it is the last time for holders to sell Ethereum at a good price against Bitcoin.

"Last chance to sell ETH above 0.05 BTC"

Samson Mow tweeted that he does not believe that a potential approval of Ethereum funds by the SEC regulator is bullish, since, per him, even if approved spot Ethereum-based ETFs will “undoubtedly massively underperform Bitcoin ETFs.”

For those who are in doubt, the Bitcoin maximalist suggested comparing demand for both BTC and ETH in other markets and said it is important to consider that Ethereum will not give staking rewards.

Mow concluded his tweet by saying that now it is “the last chance to sell ETH above 0.05 BTC.”

In the comments to his root tweet, Samson added that he expects the news of the potential approval to become one of the biggest “sell the news events” this year.

When a commentator pointed out that there is no company of the scale like MicroStrategy which is acquiring Ethereum now in the same amounts as Michael Saylor’s company is accumulating Bitcoin.

Contrary to Mow, Bitcoiner and VC investor Anthony Pompliano believes that a potential approval of Ethereum ETFs by the SEC would become “the last dam to be broken” before the US approves the entire cryptocurrency space.
