Peter Schiff Accidentally Endorses Bitcoin

As a seasoned financial analyst with over a decade of experience in the industry, I have closely watched Peter Schiff’s long-standing critique of Bitcoin. However, his recent social media post endorsing the leading cryptocurrency through an unintended endorsement of its resilient community is intriguing.


In an unexpected turn of events on the X social media platform, Bitcoin‘s prominent critic, Peter Schiff, inadvertently gave it his endorsement through a recent post.

According to Schiff’s latest survey, a staggering 87% of Bitcoin owners remain unfazed by potential price drops, with an astonishing 99% dip not deterring them from purchasing even more of the cryptocurrency.

“Think about that before you buy,” the financial commentator added in his social media post. 

Despite Schiff’s intention to criticize Bitcoin with his statement, some viewers interpreted his polling data as evidence supporting the leading cryptocurrency.

Certain individuals within the community believe that Bitcoin’s strong belief among its supporters increases its chances of endurance, making it an attractive investment proposition for some. One user even expressed, “This is the most compelling argument for Bitcoin I have come across.”

Notable is the fact that Bitcoin has gone through significant price drops in the past. In the year 2011, it suffered a massive decline of approximately 93%, which required 460 trading days for a rebound. Even with increasing acceptance and popularity, Bitcoin plummeted 77% during its previous bear market between Nov. 9, 2021 and March 4, 2024. It took the cryptocurrency a total of 469 trading sessions before it began another bull run.

So far, Bitcoin has always managed to come back stronger than ever after painful bear markets. 

Since 2011, Schiff has been a vocal critic of cryptocurrencies. More recently, he forecasted that Bitcoin’s price could plummet down to the level of $3,500.

In April, he issued a warning to those planning to release Bitcoin ETFs: buyers may initiate lawsuits over significant financial losses.
