Peter Schiff, an economist and a vocal opponent of Bitcoin who also serves as the founder and chairman of the SchiffGold fund, sent a message via Twitter regarding Tuesday's steep decline in the value of Bitcoin. Although he acknowledged that Bitcoin is truly rare, it is now irrelevant.

Bitcoin's Heaviest Declines and Scarcity

The biggest decline in two months occurred on Tuesday when it fell by 5.61% to a low of $18,630. Peter Schiff said in his tweet that there is not just a protracted Bitcoin collapse but also a sharp decline in BTC dominance. The current value of this indicator is 38.1%, the lowest level seen since the previous crypto winter in June 2018. Schiff believes that the fact that Bitcoin must compete with roughly 21,000 other cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and crypto-based stocks is the reason for its loss of market dominance. Schiff has described Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies to which BTC is losing market share as being "intrinsically worth less." https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff/status/1567236078502912001 The economist acknowledged that Bitcoin is a rare asset. However, he claimed that presently, altcoins have a far larger supply than BTC. Thus, this does not matter. Bitcoin supporters, including Spencer Schiff, raced to convince Schiff that he was wrong. Before this, Schiff acknowledged that Bitcoin would not be a part of the cryptocurrency future. Influencer David Gokhshtein agreed that Peter Schiff had correctly predicted the future of Bitcoin this time. https://twitter.com/davidgokhshtein/status/1567360891842170881

Fund manager and gold enthusiast Schiff stated on Twitter on Tuesday that he believed the benchmark cryptocurrency's price of $20,000 to be a false bottom. He stated that BTC has been trading around that level for almost two weeks as the market allowed gullible investors to get on board. To avoid it being too late, he advised exiting the "sinking ship.
