Schiff: ‘Bitcoin Is Now Public Enemy Number One’

As a seasoned researcher with over two decades of experience in financial markets, I’ve seen many trends come and go. However, the Bitcoin phenomenon has undeniably stood out as one of the most intriguing developments in recent years. Peter Schiff’s latest tirade against Bitcoin is just another chapter in this ongoing saga.


Recently, financial expert Peter Schiff intensified his critical stance towards Bitcoin, labeling it as the top adversary in a recent social media post.

In simpler terms, Schiff alleges that supporters of Bitcoin are influencing government officials to recklessly spend public funds by purchasing cryptocurrency.

Currently, he asserts that Bitcoin poses a risk to national security, not merely an investment opportunity for individual speculators.

Criticism from Schiff intensifies during discussions on whether the U.S. should create a government-held Bitcoin reserve.

According to U.Today’s report, MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor has proposed that the US government should switch its reliance on gold to Bitcoin instead. Saylor believes this change would essentially render all gold assets obsolete or worthless. Unsurprisingly, this idea stirred up some controversy among gold supporters.

It’s not shocking that the suggestion for the U.S. to purchase Bitcoin has stirred up a lot of debate. Just recently, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers dismissed it as ‘unreasonable’.

Betters on Polymarket are estimating that there’s approximately a 27% likelihood that the U.S. government will establish a Bitcoin reserve within the upcoming months.

Simultaneously, individual U.S. states might take the lead by establishing their own reserves, potentially outpacing the federal government. For example, Florida is planning to initiate this in early 2025.

As an analyst, I’ve been considering the latest predictions from VanEck. They suggest that if Bitcoin manages to establish itself as a global reserve asset, its value could potentially surge to a staggering $3 million by the year 2025.

At present, the price of Bitcoin stands at approximately $100,032, marking the first instance this week that it surpassed six figures.
