- Peter Schiff issues warning against buying Bitcoin during a market decline.
- Suggests focusing on gold and silver investments instead of crypto.
- Bitcoin underperformed in 2025 despite pro-crypto narratives.
Economist Peter Schiff issued a “buy the dip” alert for gold and silver, not Bitcoin, predicting crypto’s decline over the coming years on January 1, 2026, via X.
Schiff’s stance reflects skepticism on Bitcoin’s future, affecting market sentiment as BTC fell ~7% in 2025, sparking bearish trends among retail investors.
Economist Peter Schiff has issued a cautionary message against investing in Bitcoin amid its current market dip. Instead, he recommends focusing on traditional assets like gold and silver, which have shown more resilience.
Schiff, known for his skepticism on Bitcoin, took to X to reiterate his viewpoint. He suggests selling Bitcoin when its value is above $87,000, highlighting the underperformance of crypto in 2025.
The effect of Schiff’s statements is predominantly on the Bitcoin market, driving interest towards traditional investments. This has further emphasized the volatility and risk associated with cryptocurrency investments.
Markets have reacted to Schiff’s position, with Bitcoin’s value approaching his suggested sell point. His advice underscores a shift in sentiment toward more stable assets amid crypto’s fluctuating returns.
Despite growth in crypto-focused ETFs and corporate interests, Bitcoin’s yearly performance has been lackluster compared to gold. This scenario questions long-term sustainability, drawing attention towards gold’s consistent profitability.
Investors are urged to consider the past year’s trends where Bitcoin faced significant losses. Schiff believes the patterns of 2025 could persist, suggesting a bearish outlook for the next few years. This could potentially influence investment strategies globally.
“The good news era is over… Sell BTC above $87,000 rather than ‘buy the dip’.”
