经济学家彼得希夫——社交媒体上比特币布道者最喜欢的反对者——再次吹响了他对加密货币的厄运的号角，尤其是比特币和以太币。
根据 gold bug 的说法，出售比特币来支付账单是必要的，“随着经济衰退的继续，情况只会恶化。”这家伙预测经济崩溃并断言比特币将暴跌至 20,000 美元，而以太币将跌至 1,000 美元。

Peter Schiff 从来都不是加密货币的信徒（CNBC）。
Euro Pacific Capital 的首席经济学家和主要策略师，以及 Schiffgold 的发明者，对整个加密货币行业发表了悲观的预测。星期六，他发出了以下推文：
“比特币注定会跌至 20,000 美元，以太坊注定会跌至 1,000 美元……不要买入这种下跌。你会损失更多的钱。”
比特币是世界上最大的加密货币，截至发稿时，其交易价格下跌 4.4% 至 27,409 美元，市值为 5,210 亿美元。随着美国经济衰退的可能性增加，出售加密货币的压力也在增加。
Peter Schiff 于 5 月 8 日对他超过 708,000 名 Twitter 关注者表示：
“如果#Bitcoin 坚定地跌破 30,000 美元，它似乎有可能跌破 10,000 美元。”
这意味着，根据“比特币末日先知”的说法，比特币所有者现在必须做出关键决定。 “你会怎么做？你现在就做决定，不要惊慌失措，仓促做出决定。”
