Peter Schiff Warns Americans Will Bear the Brunt of Bitcoin (BTC) Bubble Burst

During his podcast, Schiff disputed the notion that the U.S. establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

"I think the brunt of the impact of the Bitcoin bubble bursting will be felt by Americans," Peter Schiff, the outspoken cryptocurrency critic, said on Wednesday during an episode of his podcast, "Schiff Radio."

What Happened: As the U.S. government's decision to hold Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) as a reserve asset continues to be a hot topic, Schiff's commentary has been drawing attention.

During the podcast, Schiff responded to a listener's question about whether the U.S. including Bitcoin in its Strategic Bitcoin Reserve would lead other countries to follow suit, sparking a global race to acquire BTC.

"I don't think so. I think the U.S. government is capable of making a lot of bad decisions on its own, without any need for peer pressure," Schiff stated.

He further pointed out that the U.S. is already the world's largest Bitcoin node operator, a fact that isn't widely recognized.

"We're already doing it. We're already mining more Bitcoin than any other country in the world. We're already running the most Bitcoin nodes. We're already the biggest Bitcoin market. I don't think any other country is going to feel compelled to keep up with the U.S., because they can't," Schiff elaborated.

Schiff's comments come as he has previously expressed skepticism towards cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin. He has defended his views despite backlash from the crypto community.

Earlier this year, Schiff, in an interview with Benzinga, voiced his belief that investing in Bitcoin is a "waste of resources" and that such investments would end up damaging the U.S. dollar.

"The government shouldn't be investing in anything other than the U.S. dollar. They're not good investors. They're not money managers. They're politicians. They shouldn't be doing any of this," he added.
