Peter Schiff: The Bitcoin Denier Who Once Praised It

The Evolution of Peter Schiff: From Bitcoin Praise in 2013 to Current Critic – A Tale of Changing Perspectives in the Crypto Landscape

In a surprising turn of events, a video from 2013 has resurfaced on Bitchute, featuring none other than Peter Schiff, the well-known gold and silver proponent and vocal Bitcoin critic.

The video, intriguingly titled “PETER SCHIFF IN 2013 EXPLAINING WHY BITCOIN IS BETTER THAN GOLD”, shows Schiff praising Bitcoin’s features, a stark contrast to his current stance.

A Blast from the Past

In 2013, the price of Bitcoin started at a humble $13 and skyrocketed to $1,100 by the end of the year. In contrast, gold began the year at $1,681 per oz and ended at $1,201 per oz. 

Fast forward to today, and 1 Bitcoin is worth a staggering $44k, while an ounce of Gold lags behind at $2,041.60.

Schiff’s Bitcoin U-turn

Schiff’s current views on Bitcoin are far from his 2013 praises. 

He has made some dire predictions about Bitcoin, particularly during a recession, stating that “The need to sell bitcoin to pay the bills will only get worse as the recession deepens,” and predicting that Bitcoin is poised to crash to $20K. 

He even went as far as to say that Bitcoin isn’t a financial asset but a collectable digital token, and that its advocates are like a cult, trying to convince people to buy Bitcoin after buying it themselves.

The Irony of it All

The irony of Schiff’s change in stance is not lost on the crypto community.

Despite his gloomy predictions, Bitcoin has continued to thrive, outperforming gold in terms of value appreciation. While Schiff warns against investing in Bitcoin, many see his pessimistic outlook as a buy signal for BTC.

The Final Word

While Schiff continues to criticize Bitcoin, the numbers speak for themselves.

Bitcoin has appreciated significantly over the years, outpacing traditional assets like gold and silver.

As for Schiff’s 2013 video, it serves as a reminder that even the most vocal critics can see the potential in Bitcoin. After all, as the saying goes, “The numbers don’t lie.”

So, whether you’re a Bitcoin enthusiast or a gold bug like Schiff, one thing is clear: the world of investments is full of surprises, and Peter Schiff’s Bitcoin journey is a testament to that.
