Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz reignited a long-running feud with economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff after the latter criticized Биткойн yet again.
Schiff dismissed Bitcoin’s fixed supply as “arbitrary,” prompting Novogratz to respond on X:
“Why do you hate $BTC so much? You’ve been wrong for a decade. Admit it—it’s liberating.”
Peter Schiff has earned a reputation as one of Bitcoin’s loudest critics. Since at least 2011, he’s repeatedly called Bitcoin a bubble, a Ponzi scheme, and “digital fool’s gold.” Despite being wrong about every major rally—including the recent surge above $118,000—Schiff refuses to shift his stance. He remains committed to gold, arguing it holds intrinsic value while Bitcoin does not.
Even as Bitcoin’s adoption accelerates and institutional inflows climb, Schiff continues to argue that it’s a fad with no real utility. Meanwhile, Novogratz and other crypto advocates see Bitcoin as the digital evolution of hard money—scarce, decentralized, and increasingly mainstream.
The back-and-forth underscores the growing divide between traditional asset champions and the new wave of crypto-native investors. As Bitcoin enters price discovery, that tension is only likely to grow.
Bitcoin soared to a new all-time high above $119,000 on July 13, extending its bullish momentum on the back of institutional accumulation, shrinking exchange reserves, and technical breakout patterns.
A major shift in the crypto cycle may be approaching as Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D) once again reaches critical long-term resistance.
Gold advocate Peter Schiff issued a stark warning on monetary policy and sparked fresh debate about Bitcoin’s perceived scarcity. In a pair of high-profile posts on July 12, Schiff criticized the current Fed rate stance and challenged the logic behind Bitcoin’s 21 million supply cap.
A sharp divergence has emerged between Bitcoin’s exchange balances and its surging market price—signaling renewed long-term accumulation and supply tightening.
