What I don't understand is how Peter Schiff does not see the fact that gold went from money (medium of exchange) to "store of value" and that Bitcoin is just doing the same thing (going from digital money to digital store of value) but with quicker & better. Either he does see it and simply does not want to say it (because of his bias towards gold) or he's just not paying attention to what is happening into the world or peter is fighting for his company and the gold industry
as a whole that clearly threatened by Bitcoin because of new store of value ?
One of his angers is from how Bitcoin, which is not backed up by anything, can attain such heights. It's crazy to him, and as an economist, he doesn't believe in such theories. A long time ago, Bitcoin should have been dead, but seeing the currency still this active annoys him a lot.
Many economic aspects were analysed by him seems correct such aspects like lets free from big government, high taxes, minimum wages, most social services and a useless bureaucracy but when it comes to his every bitcoin arguments he has wrong perception, what moreso bothers or has been hated by bitcoin community is being spoken about bitcoin as a doomsday since forever, and i don't think (or more exception i do have on) all the rich man will turn orange within certainty time frame.
