I'm convinced this Schiff is a top fan and supporter of gold investment so i wouldn't blame him if he talks bad on bitcoin maybe he just doing it out of ignorance.
He's a foolish supporter of gold investment, whose purpose was to make good look good to the people who dont understand the potential of Bitcoin, while he did marketing for Gold. That's why he talks trash about BTC, which he sees as something that can possibly make gold obsolete in the future, so instead of him joining the BTC market, since it will literally affect his investment in gold, the best thing he chose to do is stain BTC through his FUD statement.
There is no need for him criticizing bitcoin or those investing in bitcoin, they are different assets that requires no competition'
That's not the belief of most asset investors. All they believe is going against the asset or market that seems to threaten the rank, and future beneficial level of their asset.
one can still be investing in gold and also invest in bitcoin they are good assets to hold, bitcoin is a store of value which has also been profiting long term investors so i don't see any reason why we should fear bitcoin and invest in gold.
Yes, they know, but they dont want BTC to fully climb the ladder that will make it surpass the achievement of Gold.
