Schiff Advises Ethereum Traders to Sell as Bitcoin Remains King

Selling Ether and Buying Bitcoin Is a Better Trade Says Peter Schiff. Here’s Why $HYPER Could Gain

Sell $ETH and Buy $BTC? Peter Schiff says to ignore Ethereum, and bet big on Bitcoin instead.

In a controversial call, gold advocate and Bitcoin skeptic Peter Schiff has urged crypto investors to sell Ethereum and buy Bitcoin, citing ETH’s surge to a six‑month peak as evidence that its rally is nearing its end.

Peter Schiff Ether near upper end

Of course, coming from Schiff – longtime crypto skeptic and firm believer in gold and silver – it’s possible that there’s some exaggeration happening.

Is Schiff onto something? Is Ethereum at its peak – or is it just getting started?

A Rally Ripe for Reversal?

Ethereum’s price recently climbed 25% in a week, reaching highs around $3.8K, its highest since January. The surge was propelled in part by record inflows into spot ETH ETFs and increased institutional activity.

Total Ethereum Spot ETF Net Inflow

Since mid-May, $ETH ETFs have seen only a handful of days with relatively minor outflows; in July alone, over $4.5B has poured into spot Ethereum ETFs.

That doesn’t seem like a bad thing, but Schiff argues that Ethereum is still in a bear market when compared to Bitcoin. In his own words:

I would not buy either myself, but I think Ether is in a bear market in terms of Bitcoin, and I think it just had a bear market rally. So if you want to won (sic) crypto, selling Ether to buy Bitcoin makes sense.

—Peter Schiff, X

Schiff also compared the long-term case for Ethereum versus Bitcoin, noting that there’s much more competition in the spaces Ethereum occupies – DeFi, staking, etc. In contrast, no other crypto works as a store of value quite like Bitcoin does.

Also remember that Schiff called Bitcoin a ‘Ponzi scheme’ the same day and returned to a familiar theme: the benefits of investing in gold and silver.

Peter Schiff gold is about to move

But while Schiff correctly noted the competition in the DeFi space, he may have overlooked another aspect: ever-growing institutional $ETH adoption.

In two recent examples:

  • BitMine, notable for holding 300K $ETH, saw its shares spike nearly 14%
  • SharpLink – a $1B $ETH holder – boosted its treasury and began staking immediately
It’s that last element – the ability to put $ETH treasuries to work generating additional assets – that could put Ethereum in the best position to compete with Bitcoin long-term

Of course, Bitcoin may gain its own advantages. While the Bitcoin Layer 1 blockchain isn’t natively compatible with the growing crypto economy of dApps and DeFi, planned Layer 2 projects – like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – could level the playing field with Ethereum.

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Unlock Fast, Cheap Bitcoin Transactions

Want to beat Ethereum at its own game? Design a blockchain that unlocks faster, cheaper transactions with the only crypto that’s bigger than Ethereum.

As the long-awaited Bitcoin Layer 2, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) does all that and more. Deploying a Bitcoin Canonical Bridge via the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), $HYPER unleashes payments, meme coins, dApps and more with Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Layer 2

That’s what Bitcoin Hyper is – the natural successor to Bitcoin, able to leverage all of Bitcoin’s cultural and market strength and apply it to the broader crypto economy.

Staking is one example. Users will be able to stake Bitcoin natively on Bitcoin Hyper; in the meantime, early investors can earn an estimated 231% APY by buying and staking $HYPER in the ongoing presale.

There’s real excitement over the project’s potential; the presale has raised $4.1M so far, with tokens currently priced at $0.01235. See how far we think the token’s price could go in our $HYPER price prediction.

Schiff’s Tale: Caution, or Paranoia?

Peter Schiff’s recommendation to trade $ETH for $BTC stands as a provocative challenge to the prevailing bullish sentiment. Is there any truth to it?

While Ethereum’s outlook remains positive with institutional flows and staking strategies, Bitcoin Hyper shows the future still runs through Bitcoin, until proven otherwise.
