- Peter Schiff asks Bitcoin’s status as “digital gold” in the midst of inflation problems and price volatility.
- The crypto community debates about the attitude of Schiff, where some call him outdated.
Renowned economist and bitcoin [BTC] Critic Peter Schiff has again focused on the leading cryptocurrency and doubts the status as ‘digital gold’.
Peter Schiff takes another shot at Bitcoin
In his last comments, Schiff suggested that the role of BTC is weakened as a cover against inflation, especially the concern about internal stagflation grows.
He pointed out that the growth of Bitcoin seems to be slowing down despite the rising inflation, so that the widespread belief in its viability in the long term is disputed when a store of value is disputed.
Moreover, he has doubted the effectiveness of strategic Bitcoin reserve plans, which implies that they may not produce the intended results.

“Tarief uncertainty is contributing to the pressure on the financial markets. Gold touches record heights such as Bitcoin crashes. Bye bye strategic Bitcoin reserve.”
Community Slams Schiff notes
Criticism of Schiff’s comments, an analyst on-chain Erik Huisman said,
“People such as Trump, Larry Fink and other intelligent people all play 4D chess while you only look at the daily price graph. Peter grow up. It is clear that people with a little feeling in their brains see something that you are missing or right? I think the leaders of larger companies will know the best in a forgotten South –america.”

In addition, the claims from Schiff, another X user Juraj Bednar noted,

This emphasizes how Schiff’s negative remark on Bitcoin is never properly appreciated by the crypto community. His comments even look shocking, given the unexpected move he recently made.
For those who are not aware, Schiff surprised many on his 62nd birthday by showing interest in keeping BTC in a hardware porter.
Current market conditions
That said, the last comments from Schiff come at a time when BTC experiences considerable price fluctuations.
After having touched $ 88,000, the leading cryptocurrency saw a sharp correction and dropped to $ 83,000 before he falls back to $ 83,148.79, marking A profit of 0.28% in the last 24 hours.
That is why Schiff’s comments, in combination with the volatile market conditions, have speculated about whether his views about Bitcoin mitigate or whether this movement is only symbolic.
