Bitcoin Crumbles, Gold Soars: Peter Schiff’s Dire Prediction Revealed!

by

In the shadow of the digital age’s flickering lights, Bitcoin, that ephemeral beacon of modern hubris, wavers as investors, like moths drawn to flame, retreat from the inferno of their own making-persistent inflation gnawing at their resolve, artificial intelligence whispering promises of obsolescence. The coin tumbled to $63,019, a price so pitiful it could not even muster the dignity of rounding to $64,000 before clawing its way back to $64,044, a performance that would make a dying star blush.

Enter Peter Schiff, the Cassandra of the cryptocurrency age, whose every tweet is a funeral dirge for Bitcoin bulls. With the gravity of a man who has seen the future, he poked at the fragile edifice of digital faith while gold and silver, those stoic relics of human greed, danced in triumph. Gold, that ancient custodian of despair, closed at $5,278, a number so round and regal it could have been carved on a pharaoh’s tomb. Silver, its scrappy cousin, added $5.50 to $93.66, as if to say, “We’ve done this before, and we’ll do it again.”

Schiff, with the solemnity of a man who has seen the future, declared gold up 21.5% and silver 30% in 2026, while Bitcoin, that digital hare, stumbled backward 27%. “This divergence,” he intoned, “will continue all year,” as if he were not merely a man but a prophet channeling the will of the markets.

Gold closed up $94 today, at $5,278, its highest weekly and monthly close ever. Silver closed up $5.50, at $93.66, its highest monthly close ever. So far in 2026, gold is up 21.5% and silver is up 30%. In sharp contrast Bitcoin is down 27%. This divergence will continue all year.

Fidelity’s Jurrien Timmer, a man who seems to have misplaced his faith in the future, likened Bitcoin to a “junior player” on the hard money team, led by gold, the “quarterback” who never falters. He waxed poetic about the gold/Bitcoin ratio, a metric so arcane it could only be understood by monks in a cave. “The $60,000 level is key,” he said, as if the number itself were a divine decree.

Timmer, ever the optimist, noted gold is “cheap” compared to silver but “expensive” compared to Bitcoin, a paradox so profound it could split atoms. He warned of extremes, yet the Z-score, that mystical oracle of market sanity, remains indifferent, as if the gods of finance have taken the day off.

Michael Van de Poppe, with the optimism of a man who believes in tomorrow, expects a peak in commodities soon, followed by a “rotation” toward equities and crypto. One wonders if he owns a crystal ball or simply a particularly vivid imagination.
