Peter Schiff, a notable economist and vocal critic of Bitcoin, recently highlighted the contrasting trajectories of traditional assets versus cryptocurrencies. On May 5th, he noted that while US stock index futures and the US dollar experienced declines, gold, viewed as a safe haven asset, appreciated by approximately 1%. In stark contrast, Bitcoin, categorized as a risk asset, saw a decrease of around 2%. Schiff’s observations reiterate a critical perspective in the ongoing discourse about cryptocurrency’s status, accentuating that despite the label of ‘digital gold’, Bitcoin continues to behave more like a speculative instrument than a reliable store of value.
