Peter Schiff Warns Of A BTC Price Slump Ahead
According to the crypto critic’s statement, Bitcoin appears to have noted a pump overnight, likely following gold’s recent rally to new record highs. This rapid rise in Bitcoin’s price orchestrated only to entice ETF investors into buying the market at inflated prices, per Peter Schiff. However, a slump in the BTC price looms shortly ahead, the BTC critic pointed out stating, “Get ready for the dump.”
It looks like #Bitcoin got pump up overnight following the #gold rally to new record highs, to sucker ETF investors into buying the gap up. Get ready for the dump.

Although this remark cautioned a sense of alarm among investors, Schiff’s critical outlook on Bitcoin has shadowed the crypto market for quite some time now. Notably, the critic even pointed out that Bitcoin stages as a popular investment option among the young compared to gold because the former is likely to register more growth during their “short lifetimes,” echoing a bustle throughout the global crypto realm.
Nonetheless, Bitcoin’s upward price trajectory and on-chain data confronted the critic’s remark with a bullish triumph in the market as of press time.
