- Schiff slams Bitcoin’s drop, predicting its eventual collapse below $100,000.
- Bitcoin struggles while Gold surges 60%, Schiff touts traditional assets.
- Saylor urges “HODL” despite Bitcoin’s volatile price drop, remains confident.
Peter Schiff, a staunch critic of Bitcoin, has seized the opportunity to take another swipe at the cryptocurrency after its recent price plunge. Schiff’s latest post on X mocked Bitcoin enthusiasts who celebrated its rise to $100,000 in 2024, asking whether they expected the price to dip below that level. He pointed out that while Bitcoin has faltered, Gold surged by 60% during the same period, furthering his argument that traditional assets remain more reliable.
Bitcoin’s Struggles Continue
Bitcoin’s value dropped below the $100,000 mark, now trading at around $97,120, after losing approximately 10% of its value over the past week. This latest setback has rekindled the debate over Bitcoin’s long-term viability.
Schiff, who has long labeled Bitcoin a bubble, remains firm in his belief that the cryptocurrency will eventually crash. Despite his predictions, Bitcoin has repeatedly bounced back from downturns, making it a persistent thorn in the side of critics like Schiff.

Schiff’s Concerns About the U.S. and Bitcoin’s Impact
In his latest podcast, Schiff went on to criticize former U.S. President Donald Trump’s comments about making the U.S. the Bitcoin capital of the world. While Trump acknowledged that the U.S. leads in the crypto space, Schiff argued that such remarks could threaten the financial stability of U.S. citizens.
He warned that a potential Bitcoin collapse would leave the country vulnerable, especially for those whose livelihoods depend on the crypto industry.
Seizing the opportunity to promote Gold, Schiff suggested that a failure of Bitcoin would only strengthen Gold’s position in the market. Gold has been performing well, showing a 60% increase in value, which Schiff believes offers more security for investors than volatile assets like Bitcoin.
Will Bitcoin Recover Again?
Despite Schiff’s warnings, Bitcoin’s loyal supporters remain unfazed by the price drop, recalling the cryptocurrency’s history of bouncing back stronger after every major dip. As the debate over Bitcoin’s future continues to heat up, the crypto community waits to see whether Bitcoin will once again defy expectations or if Schiff’s predictions about its collapse will finally come true.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor has continued to urge investors to hold on to their Bitcoin. In a recent post on X, Saylor emphasized the importance of “HODLing” as the price fluctuates, reinforcing his long-term confidence in Bitcoin’s potential.
