JAN3 boss's Bitcoin storage warning
Samson Mow believes that it is vitally important to make sure a Bitcoin holder cannot easily access his BTC stored in a cold wallet. Therefore, according to his tweet, it is crucial that private keys to a Bitcoin wallet are not stored at home.
Mow published a video, in which three thieves are pushing a large safe from a house. A safe they were unable to open, so they decided to take it away with them. “It should be difficult even for yourself to move your coins that are in cold storage,” he wrote.
Mow is a believer that the world’s leading digital currency Bitcoin is likely to skyrocket to a $1 million price mark in the near future. What is more, this “near future” will happen within the next year, according to his recent tweets. Anything could provoke an Omega candle, he clarified, hinting that he expects some tech giant, such as Apple, or Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway to pour their cash into Bitcoin.
