If there is one thing that Peter Schiff does effortlessly, it is to criticize whatever discussion with Bitcoin in it. He appears to have a rather pre-informed notion about the flagship cryptocurrency that stops him from seeing the coin from the perspective of others. Now, Republican Party Candidate Donald Trump has just entered into his crosshairs.
US Politician’s Seek Solution to National Debt
The United States is currently faced with a massive national debt that could threaten its economy in the long run.
Presently, the US National Debt is around $35 trillion and still growing. Its size has forced lawmakers, politicians, and concerned citizens to seek out solutions. A significant percentage of Bitcoin Marxists strongly believe that buying Bitcoin and selling it after a few years could write off the debt.
Those who have suggested this strategy includes Donald Trump and Senator Cynthia Lummis from Wyoming. Donald Trump attended an interview with FOX Business recently and while speaking, he touched on the possibility of using Bitcoin and crypto cheques to offset the US national debt. To this end, Sen. Lummis also published a strategic Bitcoin reserve Bill that has forced 2,200 supporters to send advocacy letters to US senators.
Schiff believes that by making such proposal, Trump is only trying to appeal to the emotions of Bitcoin voters. Precisely, he described it as a tactic to get donations and votes from the BTC community.
That’s just to get donations and votes from the Bitcoin community. It’s pure BS.

While he is blunt with how he feels about the plan, his outburst is likely not a personal attack on Trump.
Peter Schiff on Contradictory Bitcoin Proposal For US National Debt
It is worth noting that when this suggestion began making the rounds last week, Schiff criticized it. Bitcoin enthusiasts are convinced that in 20 years, the coin would have risen in worth, going as high as millions of dollars. Therefore, if the US government buys a significant holding now and sells it in 20 years, the probability of repaying its debt is high, per the coin proponents’ opinion.
Furthermore, they believe employing this method will mitigate the occurrence of inflation. Schiff flawed the logic, citing that it is contradictory.
He highlighted the contradictory nature of believing that BTC price could reach such high valuations due to inflation and suggesting that the government could use the coin to address the debt issue without further inflating the currency.
