“A Worthless Digital Asset”

On 2026-06-16, with Bitcoin in the mid-$60,000s and well off its cycle high, perennial gold bug Peter Schiff went on Fox Business to call it 'a worthless digital asset' whose bubble had burst — arguing buyers were merely betting a greater fool would pay more, with no genuine long-term value. It was Schiff's umpteenth Bitcoin obituary since 2011; two weeks later he doubled down, warning a 'death spiral' could drag BTC under $20,000. Bitcoin has risen more than 4,000-fold since his first recorded death call.
