Bitcoin Bull Brandt Burns Schiff: ‘Stop Betting On Dead Horses!’

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

The financial industry is not new for vibrant personalities; last week the gloves came off between two titans with different opinions on Bitcoin: Peter Brandt, a crypto bull, and Peter Schiff, a Bitcoin critic.

Their battleground? Social media, of course.

Schiff Touts Silver’s Shine, Brandt Calls It Something Else

Long-time gold champion Schiff lately turned his attention to silver. Declaring the metal’s recent price jump of over 20% compared to BTC’s relatively modest 2% increase, he highlighted to

“That’s more than 10x the bang for your buck with silver. Bitcoin is dead. Long live silver!”

Ever the advocate of Bitcoin, Brandt was not feeling it. He responded that Schiff’s comments were only a ruckus for attention, implying he was getting a “social media orgasm” only because silver “decided to take a jog.”

People, ignore this type of X Tweet. Schiff says this type of nonsense to attract attention and followers. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt — saying that he is actually not as dumb as he sounds. He knows he has been betting on dead horses. Just because one horse (Silver)… https://t.co/O4HgqrQXrR

With Schiff regularly projecting gloomy forecasts on the top currency that haven’t come to true, this interaction marks the latest chapter in a protracted conflict between the two financial figures.

Is Bitcoin A Hedge Against Inflation?

The argument on the direction of Bitcoin transcends social media slights. Given growing inflation worries, some consider Bitcoin as a possible counter-measures. This idea is shadowed, though, by recent outflows from BTC ETFs.

Negative flows in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust and Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Trust combined to hit about $230 million in just over a week. This implies that some investors are starting to doubt the crypto asset’s capacity to withstand economic turbulence.

Schiff Doubles Down On Transaction Speed Concerns

Schiff is still dubious even with the inflation argument. He reiterated in a recent live debate his opinion that the poor transaction rates and excessive costs of the digital money make it useless as a daily currency.

He stated:

“Bitcoin is a slow and expensive way to transfer value. It’s not a currency.”

Fodder For Social Media

Although Brandt writes off Schiff’s remarks as self-serving noise, the argument over the future of cryptocurrencies is far from settled. Investors are debating issues of inflation, usefulness, and long-term viability.

The continuous struggle between Bitcoin bulls and bears is likely to remain a major topic on social media and beyond as the terrain of digital assets develops.
