Peter Schiff, Gold, and Bitcoin |
![]() |
In this video, I discuss Peter Schiff's views on gold and Bitcoin.
While I agree with Peter Schiff about physical gold being a good hedge against monetary inflation, I disagree with his view on Bitcoin. I believe that Bitcoin is a better form of money than gold-- is it more portable, more easily divisible, and less easy to confiscate. Bitcoin is a better store of value than gold, because Bitcoin is even more scarce than gold (BTC has a higher stock to flow than gold). Schiff has been saying that Bitcoin is a "bubble" since at least 2013. Since then, it has risen from $400 to $12,000, and Schiff has been unable or unwilling to modify his views. As a result of confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance, Schiff has now reach the point of absurdity-- claiming that gold is not valuable due to its scarcity, and also claiming that gold is more difficult to confiscate than Bitcoin.
