Economist Peter Schiff, known for his pro-gold views, continued his harsh criticism of Bitcoin (BTC).
Schiff suggested that Bitcoin could experience price movements similar to those recently seen in the silver market, but in the opposite direction. Arguing that markets often crash faster than they rise, Schiff stated that any potential downturn could therefore be shorter and more severe.
Schiff found it remarkable that Bitcoin failed to benefit from both the rise in technology stocks and the increase in the value of gold and silver. Questioning this situation, the economist answered “never” to the question of when Bitcoin would rise under these conditions. According to Schiff, Bitcoin trading has now ended, and there are no new buyers left to enter the market.
In his statements, Schiff, who also targeted investors adopting the “HODL” strategy, argued that unless Bitcoin rises, the only direction is downwards. Implying that if investors are lucky, this process could end more quickly rather than slowly, Schiff seems to have stepped up his criticisms of BTC recently.
