- He predicts gold will ultimately outperform Bitcoin in the long term.

As enthusiasm builds around Donald Trump’s crypto reserve plan, the spotlight is on Bitcoin’s potential to rival the U.S. Dollar. Economist Peter Schiff asserts that Bitcoin’s dominance could lead to the downfall of the U.S. dollar following the government’s adoption of Bitcoin as a US strategic reserve.
Last Sunday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to declare BTC along with a few other altcoins as part of US reserves. Investors are now awaiting more details at the first White House Crypto Summit scheduled on Friday.
Peter Schiff Predicts Dollar’s Demise Amid Bitcoin’s Rise
Economist Peter Schiff has expressed concerns on the implications of the United States creating a strategic BTC reserve. He stated that if BTC’s success hinges on the failure of the U.S. dollar, such a move would hasten the dollar’s decline. However, Schiff believes that in this fight of BTC vs USD, Gold will emerge as the ultimate winner.
“This development might provide a short-term boost for Bitcoin, but in the long run, gold will emerge as the ultimate winner.”
His comments reflect ongoing debates about Bitcoin’s role in global financial systems and its potential to disrupt traditional fiat currencies. Schiff’s comments also reflect upon macro conditions and the volatility in the US market as the Trump trade war kicks off.
While Schiff is against BTC reserves, market veterans like Robert Kiyosaki believe that Bitcoin will resolve America’s financial woes. He asserts that individuals who sold their BTC during the recent market crash may regret missing out on potential gains, while those who held onto their holdings will emerge as ultimate winners.
Will BTC Price Rally Continue Past $100,000?

The BTC price is up by an additional 6.24% in the last 24 hours and is currently trading at $92,296 levels with a market cap of $1.830 trillion. As per the coinglass data, the BTC open interest is also up 8.09% to more than $51.38 billion.
