The famous economist Peter Schiff, also known as the “Gold Bug,” warned investors after the Bitcoin halving.
Peter Schiff angered investors with his statement following the Bitcoin halving on April 20th on social media.
In his statement on the subject, the economist targeted Bitcoin investors and asked, “Are you celebrating tonight with a party?” He issued a veiled warning that the Bitcoin halving will soon cause investors’ net assets to be halved:
Congratulations to Bitcoin holders for the halving. Are you celebrating tonight with parties? I wasn’t invited to any. I think halving is an appropriate name for what’s happening, as Bitcoin investors will soon experience their net worth being halved.
The economist, who often attracts attention with his anti-Bitcoin statements, had also mentioned the possibility of a sale from institutional investors in the past, stating that Bitcoin’s price could start to decline.
