Peter Schiff Says Hello Dollar Weakness

But Euro Pacific Capital founder and chief, Peter Schiff, wasnt impressed by Bitcoins feat. He has made a name for himself among crypto investors by trash talking Internet hash currencies.

Even as Congress moved to pass the stablecoin bill named the GENIUS Act, he characterized the move as a cynical ploy by special interests to hype Bitcoin and offload worthless tokens onto the public at a profit for early investors.

Meanwhile, as BTC prices traced historic records, the foreign equities expert and gold bug said that its not Bitcoins strength, but the dollars weakness reflected in the new record prices.

Source: X His argument to advance this theory is that Bitcoin is only marking records in dollars, not in euros or Swiss francs. He contends that only proves the dollar is falling behind its European cousins. He also pointed to what he sees as a bubble of over wrought crypto speculation stateside.

Bitcoin investors like that it moves up in price when the dollar weakens in the international currency float or over Fed inflation to target lower interest rates. But Schiff warns its a Ponzi scheme built on a house of cards.
