Top Economist Says Bitcoin in Real Trouble Over Grayscale Concerns

Peter Schiff, the Chief Economist at Euro Pacific Capital, has been actively fostering Bitcoin (BTC), selling a narrative to his 869K Twitter followers. In a recent tweet, Schiff indicated that a new record had been set after Grayscale’s Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) traded its net asset value at a 46% discount. The prominent Bitcoin skeptic noted that something is “going on” with Bitcoin, adding that the world’s largest cryptocurrency seems to be in “real trouble.” 

Following his analysis, Schiff urged his Twitter followers to liquidate their Bitcoin position.

  • Bitcoin Valuation by Savings Adoption

    A mid-term approach to price modelling Bitcoin is something entirely new, something never before observed. Because of this, many of the trusted tools in our financial toolkits might simply not do a very good job of modelling its performance, and it’s causing apprehension among analysts who are used to deploying certain modelling tools to make sense of asset pricing.

    The Bitcoin block reward is forecast to halve on April 20th. This is seen as a bullish catalyst for crypto markets. I agree that it will pump prices in the medium term; however, the price action directly before and after could be negative. The narrative of the halving being positive for crypto prices is well entrenched. When most market participants agree on a certain outcome, the opposite usually occurs. That is why I believe Bitcoin and crypto prices in general will slump around the halving.
