Bitcoin and Ethereum warning from Peter Schiff: Stay away
Famous economist Peter Schiff warns investors about current market conditions. He predicts a massive sell-off from Bitcoin investors in the coming weeks. Schiff says:
As food and energy prices rise, many Bitcoin investors will have to sell to cover the cost. Grocery stores and gas stations do not accept Bitcoin. When Bitcoin crashed during Covid, no one needed to sell. Consumer prices were much lower and investors received stimulus checks.
Blockchain firms in trouble, they will sell Bitcoin
The US reported higher-than-expected jobless claims for the last month of May 2022. As the recession solidifies his control over the market, Schiff believes “the need to sell Bitcoin will get worse.” According to the expert, the market will worsen as the recession deepens as Blockchain companies that go into bankruptcy lose. If conditions change, long-term buyers without paychecks will have to sell.
Gold prefers to hold investors in these conditions
Even if individual investors sell gold, he adds, “there will be more demand from other investors, industry, and central banks to fill the gap for what’s going on.” However, Schiff’s belief that Bitcoin will not find enough buyers is not entirely correct. In the midst of this year’s price correction, more than 10,000 BTC Bitcoin whale addresses are constantly adding more BTC.

Because, according to the analyst, this will initiate a large liquidation chain in the market.
The volumes of these altcoins exploded as the market dropped
“crypto gold” developed by Paxos Global is leading the cryptocurrency market when trading at a 1% premium on gold CFDs. The difference in price of the two assets is due to increased demand from cryptocurrency investors looking to hedge against inflation and market sell-offs. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $28,012.52. It has lost more than 5% at one point today.
