Peter Schiff Faces Backlash for Applauding Silver’s 14% Drop While Calling Bitcoin’s 30% Fall a Scam

On December 29, long-time Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff described a 14% plunge in silver prices as a buying opportunity while citing Bitcoin’s roughly 30% decline from its peak as proof it is a scam. Commentators and analysts challenged the inconsistency, arguing that both moves were driven by similar market forces and accusing Schiff of using flawed math and bias in his broader precious metals versus crypto narrative.
