Even in the midst of a crash, Bitcoin holders have refuted Peter Schiff's bearish arguments
Economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff shared a survey showing that Bitcoin holders remain optimistic despite potentially massive losses, sparking a new round of debate about Bitcoin's sustainability. As a longtime critic of the digital asset, Schiff questioned whether supporters would accept his prediction if Bitcoin fell to $0. The poll attracted over 16,000 participants, revealing deeply rooted sentiments within the cryptocurrency community.
The survey asked: "How low must Bitcoin's price fall before you Bitcoin supporters will admit I've always been right?" "The results show that 59% of participants believe that even if Bitcoin completely collapses, it would not prove Schiff's view to be correct. The survey also showed that 18.7% of respondents considered $20,000 a threshold, 8.3% chose $10,000, and 13.9% chose $1,000.
After the vote, Schiff commented:
"The results are out. Nearly 60% of Bitcoin holders believe that even if Bitcoin crashes to $1,000—which means a drop of over 99%, liquidating almost all Bitcoin investors, causing $MSTR bankruptcy, and destroying the entire cryptocurrency industry—I am still wrong. This is irrational. This is practically a cult. ”
