Watch Peter Schiff’s Golden Rant as He Declares Bitcoin a Scoundrel—Again!

by

Imagine, for a moment, Peter Schiff: the economist, the gilded Cassandra, clutching his bar of Au with Shakespearean dismay as Bitcoin teases yet another gravity-defying ascent. Once again, our hero, obliged by the relentless tickle of schadenfreude, collapses onto X (the network formerly known as Twitter, where even the truth is a meme) and insists, with caffeinated fervor, that Bitcoin is but a ‘scam’, a fraud, a carnival barker’s trick played on the gullible. Scam! he hollers into the digital ether, his monocle fogging up, his cravat askew. Meanwhile, gold glimmers demurely in the corner, quietly eyeing a new all-time high—like an aging starlet rehearsing her comeback speech. ✨

Schiff Takes Another Swipe at Digital Gold

Lo and behold! Schiff, tweed jacket bristling, proclaims on X that BTC is a “total scam.” According to him, the only reason this rickety rocket is flying is because Uncle Sam is furiously feeding the fire—pumping crypto in the manner of a distracted zookeeper tossing hay to gremlins. Meanwhile, gold (Schiff’s forever crush) savors its surge, basking in the applause of market spectators. “The breakout is nigh!” he cries, channeling the ghost of gold bugs past. 🚀

In the next installment of “Grumpy Man Yells at Blockchain,” Schiff doubles down, escalating to “total fraud.” He agonizes that traders and dreamers will continue to hemorrhage capital until they awaken to this revelation—as if the blockchain is some latter-day Siren poised on a digital shore. Schiff, with the charisma of a Bond villain appraising an underwhelming martini, then takes a swipe at the US dollar’s fading tan and crowns gold the only asset fit to inherit the throne of global reserve. Cue trumpets! And perhaps a gentle nap. 🎺💤

His ire is not confined to Bitcoin’s price alone—the US itself is apparently complicit, concocting a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. Schiff was heard clutching pearls (figuratively and maybe literally) at Trump’s crypto overtures, dismissing them as an extravagant squandering of resources—presumably those resources not already invested in dubious hats.

Washington, undeterred, lumbers onward; the Treasury drafts plans to hoard confiscated Bitcoin like squirrels prepping for a blockchain winter. And in a curveball that not even Dostoyevsky could have contrived, humble New Hampshire sprints ahead, signing the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve bill into law. Will maple syrup soon be denominated in Satoshis? Stay tuned.

Bitcoin’s Price: Like Schrödinger’s Cat, But More Expensive

Meanwhile, even as Schiff regales us with tales of fraudulence, Bitcoin nonchalantly saunters back above the $95,000 mark—flashing its psychological bling in a market increasingly uncertain thanks to the Three Amigos: tariffs, inflation, and recession. Investors, hedging their existential malaise, scurry toward the flagship crypto like moths to a warming flame. 🦋🔥

Gold, ever the coquette, isn’t about to let Bitcoin steal the spotlight. The venerable metal leaps nearly $200 in a two-day pirouette and now, tantalizingly, sits just 2.5% short of its personal best. “This isn’t normal!” shouts The Kobeissi Letter, presumably while adjusting its tinfoil hat and watching for ominous inflation clouds. In the wings, Schiff presumably polishes his Krugerrands and weeps—though whether from joy or existential dread remains the great mystery of our glittering age. 💰😏
