According to BlockBeats, renowned economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff recently expressed his disapproval of the Trump administration's support for Bitcoin policies on social media platform X. Schiff argued that when governments choose winners and losers, they often end up backing the wrong side. He criticized the Trump administration's endorsement of Bitcoin, suggesting that Wall Street is misallocating capital into Bitcoin and related ventures that he believes are destructive to value.
Schiff also responded to Senator Lummis's proposal for the Federal Reserve to sell gold reserves in order to purchase Bitcoin. He warned that if the United States were to make the significant mistake of selling gold to buy Bitcoin, individuals should consider buying gold and selling their Bitcoin holdings to the government. Furthermore, Schiff criticized MicroStrategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor's Bitcoin investment strategy, labeling it a "Ponzi scheme." He claimed that if MicroStrategy were forced to liquidate its Bitcoin holdings, the company could potentially face collapse.
