Euro Pacific Asset Management founder Peter Schiff, a cryptocurrency skeptic, recently warned that Bitcoin is the āultimate asset bubbleā as Bitcoin price soared.
Bitcoin price was flying somewhere above $61,500 when Schiff made his warning. At the time of this writing, four days later, BTC is trading above $65K.
Peter Schiff Warns of Bitcoin Bubble
āTypically, when an asset bubble develops, thereās at least some underlying value in an over-priced asset. But with #Bitcoin#bitcoins no value at all,ā wrote Schiff Thursday in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
Heās not the only one who says so. Itās a claim echoed by J. P. Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon, who referred to Bitcoin as a āpet rock,ā consigning the cryptocurrency to the Beanie Baby bin of marketable value.
It is interesting, though, that Schiff says so too because the underlying value in Bitcoin may be more clear to him than anyone else. Regulators recently shut down his 100% solvent bank in Puerto Rico.
Bitcoin has historically had a market expansion every two or three years that has then corrected by as much as 50% each time. But that doesnāt make the cryptocurrency any different than real estate, stocks, or gold. These assets also experience big increases and sharp corrections.

Typically when an asset bubble develops, thereās at least some underlying value in an over-priced asset. But with #Bitcoin, thereās no value at all. Effectively itās an asset bubble without a real asset. The ultimate bubble. That may be why itās grown so large and lasted so long.

āItās been 20 months since Puerto Rico regulators unjustly put my totally solvent bank into receivership to āprotectā customers, under the pretense the bank was critically insolvent,ā Schiff wrote in another post on Thursday. āSince then,Ń the inept receiver has made a fortune while bank customers havenāt recovered one penny.ā ā Said Schiff.
