In a recent CNBC interview, Michael Saylor forecasted a Bitcoin price of $13 million, but Peter Schiff dismissed this prediction as “nonsense.” Schiff criticized Bitcoin and promoted gold as a superior investment.
Michael Saylor appeared on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” where he reaffirmed his optimistic Bitcoin forecast, despite Bitcoin’s recent price fluctuations.
He reflected on past challenges, such as Silvergate Bank’s failure, which he claimed ultimately benefited MicroStrategy. Saylor emphasized Bitcoin’s transformative potential and predicted it could reach $13 million in 21 years.
Peter Schiff countered Saylor’s prediction, labeling it as unfounded and criticizing CNBC for not challenging Saylor’s views.
Schiff pointed out that MicroStrategy’s stock has declined significantly and questioned the long-term returns Saylor touted.
He also argued that gold, unlike Bitcoin, has intrinsic value, despite some skepticism from other commentators about gold’s relevance. Schiff suggested diversifying investments between gold and Bitcoin to mitigate risks.
Institutional investors are becoming more bullish on the future trajectory of Bitcoin, piling up their reserves.
