Renowned economist and equally well-known cryptocurrency critic Peter Schiff seems to have softened his stance on the possibility of Bitcoin reaching the $100,000 mark. In response to a tweet on his poor predictions for Bitcoin, Schiff said that it was "unlikely" that Bitcoin would ever go past the $ 100,000 mark. It is worth noting that prior to this, Schiff has always that it was impossible for Bitcoin to ever attain that position.

Peter Schiff's Comments Refer to His Previous "Incorrect" Suggestions

Schiff's comment refers to the events of recent weeks when after his extremely bearish forecasts and calls to sell Bitcoin, it rose 37.2% in value. However, readers reminded the economist that he said the same thing in late 2018 when BTC was trading at less than $4,000 per coin.

Peter Schiff: A Long-Time Bitcoin Critic

Schiff's critical views on Bitcoin have been known to everyone for a long time. Previously he has compared Bitcoin to a pyramid scheme and has called it "irrelevant". It is likely that Schiff has not fundamentally changed his position, but his view of the strength of the market and its participants has certainly wavered. However while Schiff remains a Bitcoin critic, it in turn continues to test the resistance at the $23,100 level. Crypto enthusiasts are watching the price action in the area closely, divided into two camps, with some expecting a correction and others a breakout and entry into a new price range.
