Peter Schiff Calls Out Trump For Endorsing Bitcoin

As a seasoned economist with a long and distinguished career, I have seen my fair share of market trends come and go. And while I have always been a staunch advocate for gold as a safe-haven asset, I cannot ignore the meteoric rise of Bitcoin in recent times. However, I find myself deeply concerned by the growing influence of certain high-profile figures in the crypto space, particularly when it comes to their public endorsements and stances towards this emerging asset class.


Economist Peter Schiff, known for his strong support of golf and a longtime critic, has recently voiced his disapproval of Donald Trump’s stance on Bitcoin (BTC) in the past few months. Amidst Bitcoin’s growing popularity leading up to the US Presidential elections, Schiff has been vocal about his skepticism towards this digital asset class.

Peter Schiff Tackles Donald Trump On Bitcoin Stance

A gold supporter has criticized Donald Trump’s view on Bitcoin with the US presidential elections around the corner. Crypto leaders and investors believe Trump could bring desired regulatory certainty in the industry due to his recent favorable remarks and apparent pro-crypto leanings. There are plans for Trump to speak at the Bitcoin Conference, fueling excitement among attendees.

Peter Schiff persisted in his critique of Bitcoin, stating that a president who risks taxpayer funds on Bitcoin is more questionable than a CEO using shareholder resources for similar purposes. In response, crypto supporters have defended the asset’s value by comparing its significant growth over the past decade to that of precious metals.

Crypto and tech industry leaders have expressed their support for Donald Trump, indicating a potential push for favorable regulations to foster technological advancement in the US. Trump’s position on this matter has attracted approximately $4 million in crypto donations, fueled by heightened interest from the community due to recent developments.

Peter Schiff highlighted in a recent post on X (previously Twitter) that Michael Saylor’s strategy for persuading CEOs to include Bitcoin in their companies’ balance sheets was unsuccessful in the past. Instead, he has since shifted his focus towards trying to convince President Trump to add Bitcoin as an asset to the national balance sheet.
