In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, veteran economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff issued one of his starkest warnings yet about Bitcoin’s future, and the powerful forces he believes have inflated it.
Schiff argues that the latest Bitcoin (BTC) bull market isn’t organic, but rather propped up by political influence in Washington, D.C. and Wall Street’s self-interest. Despite being proven wrong multiple times in the past, Schiff is doubling down on his statement that Bitcoin is a “bubble” and will eventually “go to zero.”
The economist challenges the mainstream narrative that Bitcoin protects investors from inflation or dollar weakness, warning instead that the same institutions Bitcoin was meant to disrupt are now the ones keeping it alive.
That support, Schiff suggests, may soon disappear.
Is Bitcoin’s rise a result of political influence and therefore destined to collapse? And could gold reclaim its role as the true store of value in a time of financial instability?
