Peter Schiff: Bitcoin Is Useless
Peter Schiff, the chief economist and global strategist at Europac, has voiced his criticism of Bitcoin, claiming that it serves no purpose in today’s economy. According to Schiff, Bitcoin advocates resemble a cult as they convince others to buy the cryptocurrency after they themselves have bought it.
In a recent tweet, Schiff stated, “No one needs Bitcoin. So people only buy it after someone else talks them into doing so. Then once they buy, they immediately try to convince others to buy too. It’s like a cult.”
Schiff’s Previous Attacks on Bitcoin
This is not the first time Schiff has attacked Bitcoin. He has previously referred to it as a con and a collectible digital token. He believes there are other ways to lose money besides investing in Bitcoin.
Criticizing Bitcoin’s Scarcity
Schiff also criticized the notion that Bitcoin is scarce and compared it to gold. He argued that Bitcoin is not a resource and there are plenty of “nothings” to go around, referring to the 2.1 quadrillion Sats.
One user argued that Bitcoin has value for individuals living in high inflationary environments and those without access to a bank account. They mentioned that owning gold would put a target on their back and that evacuating with gold is impractical. However, Schiff dismissed this argument, claiming that the user knew nothing about gold.
