Bull trap or buy signal? #PeterSchiff arremete contra el rally de #bitcoin
Peter Schiff, the investor and economist who has been predicting the collapse of #BTC for more than a decade, has just launched his most forceful attack of the year. In an X post, Schiff calls the BTC rebound above $72,000 a "fakeout" (deception) rather than a true "breakout" (advance).
Treasury effect: He attributes the recent volatility to the Treasury’s unexpected announcement of rewards, a macroeconomic factor that took financial markets by surprise.
The "easy money" dilemma: While he agrees that liquidity policies affect assets, he says Bitcoin enthusiasts are wrong to assume the cryptocurrency will respond the same way as traditional safe havens.
Schiff, however, isn’t celebrating the rally. His thesis is clear: Bitcoin investors have been believing for years that a return to "easy money" would be the ultimate catalyst to send both gold and BTC soaring. According to him, they are "only right halfway." And the conclusion is blunt: "Sell Bitcoin, buy gold."
⚔️ The Question Dividing the Market
Schiff is right on one point: the BTC rally was indeed catalyzed by a macro piece of news (the Treasury), not by something specific to the crypto ecosystem.
But the maximalists have ammunition too: whales accumulated about $2.9 billion in BTC over the last 60 days, spot ETFs recorded their first streak of 2026 inflows ($767M in a week), and the Treasury announcement could be only the beginning of a broader monetary easing cycle.
So here is the question every investor should be asking themselves tonight:
Is Peter Schiff right and is the $72K rally a macro fakeout that will end in tears for FOMO buyers, or did the maximalists get it right by seeing in the Treasury announcement the first step of an "easy money" cycle that will take Bitcoin to new all-time highs while gold just watches from the sidelines?
