    I'm always impressed by Peter's ability to keep an even keel despite emotions present in a conversation

    • @titsonafish
      @titsonafish Před 3 měsíci

      I agree. Whether you agree with him or not, every interview or debate I've seen him in, he carries himself really well.

    • @davidbinkowski4825
      @davidbinkowski4825 Před dnem

      Absolutely. And I like it when the anti-dollar people all get along. I started by watching people like Peter Schiff. And even though we disagree on Bitcoin we agree on gold and precious metals. So I have no animosity. I believe owning MULTIPLE anti-dollar trades is the best play. Let them fight over which is superior in my portfolio. After all, I have a high quality probelm when SOME of what I own is up handsomly, and the rest of what I own is up substantially more. Nothing I own is down. So we have a high quality problem there, right? For now Bitcoin and other cryptos are winning hands down, and metals are lagging. But that may not always be the case, and some analysts see a time where the trajectory of metals in the future may be steeper than crypto in the future. But probably not as steep as crypto is now. That's fine, I'll own it all. Just not the dollar... We still love you Peter...

    @cinquain0 Před 6 lety +8

    Peter is actually right. The data behind bitcoin (financial ledgers) actually possess very little value. No one in their right mind would pay this much for such frivolous data. Better cryptos will emerge, and Gold will never lose its place. The fact that people think the value of Gold is entirely subjective speaks on their ignorance of chemistry and metallurgy. What I think Peter misses however is that Bitcoin is a deflationary currency, hence its price going up just means its infinitely divisible fractions is going up.

    That magical "intrinsic" value of gold is quite low... jewelry, good conductor, shiny looking teeth replacement... the end. This would never justify the current price of gold... that is only caused by people's *faith* that it will be respected as store of value... just like cryptos. And should this prove false, I really don't care if my Ethereum goes from 300 to 0 or my gold from 1200 to 50, it is massive loss and wrong investment in both cases. I own gold, silver, 5 types of cryptos and recently bought a house on reasonable mortgage fixed for 20 years at 2,9%. Really, nobody knows what will happen during the next crysis, which assets goverments decide to tax massively so... best to have it all... :D

  • @Brandoregularo
    @Brandoregularo Před 6 lety +9

    I have long not understood Schiff's take on Bitcoin. I think I finally get it....well maybe. So I think the hurdle for me was really semantics. Schiff has often stated bitcoin isn't backed by any thing and you can always make more crypto. Because cryptos are all trying to find their nitch the differences between cryptos are what people focus on, all knowing most crypto's will fail and thinking a few will go huge. The problem in the end game is when those few survivors get copied because they are the best. Then get copied again, and again, and again. Which would be the equivalent to quantitative easing.

    • @Brandoregularo
      @Brandoregularo Před 6 lety

      I have been using bitcoin since at least 2012 and own it currently, and own other cryptos. Don't bother responding though You seem like a Fuck Head. But if any reasonable people want to respond I am eager to clarify my thoughts.

    • @Unkn0wnGuy

    • @Brandoregularo
      @Brandoregularo Před 6 lety

      By best crypo's copied I mean basically equivalent crypto's. Not copied just truly competitive. Newsbud also has a good article about how DARPA wrote a paper about creating a digital mint that perfectly describes Bitcoin 10 years before Bitcoin. Welcome to the newer better fiat. Act accordingly.

    • @mikebassett9195
      @mikebassett9195 Před 6 lety

      Brando - The way schiff is speaking is exactly how I think. What he's saying is Bitcoin has no real value. It's current value is so high because of increase demand for bitcoin. But is that demand because people want to use bitcoin or because people want to make money off it. Schiff thinks people just want to make money off it, and in the end that has to collapse surely. The only way bitcoin can have real future value is probably two ways. 1. governments make it an official currency (schiff believes there is zero chance of that) 2. It becomes an anonymous, untraceable internet currency forever. But then I here other very intelligent saying great things about bitcoin and I think to myself I clearly don't understand it, these people are smart. So possibly you could explain it to me. I also hate these ideas people have that things like bitcoin will transform our future. It's going to make it worse, the current system is corrupt, but the actual system is not wrong. I'd rather deal in cash, than these new technologies which are providing governments the ability to watch everything we are doing.

    • @shouldnotinterrupt
      @shouldnotinterrupt Před 6 lety

      Well, bitcoin has value, and the fact that you can't get your gold confiscated by robbery like gold or silver is very valuable. Also, gold has storage fees. Your arguments are half-baked .

    • @superiorseven4814
      @superiorseven4814 Před 6 lety +1

      The idea that something which doesn't physically exist has value because it does not incur storage fees nor can't be stolen, is laughable.

  • @eugenej.5584
    @eugenej.5584 Před 6 lety +2

    Max made a fine point:
    All elements in periodic table has unique qualities but they are only relevant if you are planning to store coins made from them in your pocket. In this case gold in much less attractive than, let's say, silver because it's so damn expensive and it will become even more expensive so you'll have to trade a golden dust particle for food or gasoline. Yes it does not rush, but it's a soft metal and you will want to keep it in a casing and silver doesn't rust in a casing either.
    On the intrinsic value. How much less value gold will have if it will be valid only for its utility? BItcoin can go to zero and gold can go to almost zero... For a store of value it has no meaningful difference.
    Gold being physical can be easily confiscated and the owner be jailed, but Bitcoin already has market as a Darknet currency, payment for anonymous VPN/hosting. If done correctly it's untraceable and can be stopped only if all Internet goes dark - in this case we are screwed anyway.

  • @jedharrisonmoore
    @jedharrisonmoore Před 6 lety +5

    Peter Schiff you are displaying cognitive dissonance.
    For the reason you say bitcoin could be superseded by another crypto is the exact reason gold is currently being replaced with bitcoin.
    The difference being that moving from the physical world to the digital whist keeping the properties of gold (or simply money) was the difficult part. Anything additional that a crypto can offer from this point can be added as a layer to bitcoin, or be backed in bitcoin.
    A crypto could be backed by gold if it wanted to be, but when it already possess the same properties there isn't a need for this.
    There is a reason people stopped using gold as a means of exchange, it became too difficult and something which at the time appeared better took it's place, fiat. We are now coming to realise the hidden flaw in fiat that needs to be addressed, control of supply. But now we don't need to wait for the government to fix it. We did it ourselves. Bitcoin.
    With programming languages and innovation like ethereum using crypto as a means of exchange will soon be as easy as debit cards.
    You are clutching straws Peter. The longer you take to reconsider your position the more you will lose out.
    Max makes a very good counter regarding the gold money debit card, you have no legitimate response to this because it proves you wrong.
    Max also mentions listening to the market, you may know that gold has been around for longer and is money, but the younger generation favour digital assets over gold, CLEARLY.
    I like your work Peter, I hope at least reconsider.

    • @depecheddurand
      @depecheddurand Před 3 lety

      Gold can never be replaced with bitcoin. You didn't get his point on how many types of gold are there? there is only one type you can`t destroy it . Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency and there are 100s of them who knows which one exceeds in demand in the future. Maybe etherium becomes the next bitcoin and bitcoin loses all its charm. Then what?? while good old gold will still be gold.

    Cyrptos are where they are because they may be slightly better than fiat money. Eventually though, everything gets close to it's intrinsic value. The dollar is like vanilla ice cream and Bitcoin is like vanilla ice cream with a few sprinkles. The problem is, they will both eventually melt! And a few sprinkles is not exactly a huge a improvement. Only gold and silver have proven themselves to be sturdy, long-lasting forms of money. Don't be fooled by thinking a few sprinkles will fix everything.

It is as simple as that, he has been losing market share as he had acknowledged before in this channel. So he is being offensive on crypto to defend his gold business. Same is true for Jim Rickards. He has been promoting gold for years and has ties with the industry so now he is viciously attacking crypto currencies. Please see through this "business" people and realize their true intentions...

I respect your opinion when it came to precious metal and housing bubble. But I think you are underestimating the power of people. Cryptocurrency is people's money.

    Max, Put all your money into Crypto if you are such a believer. When the Stock Market Crashes, or there is a war with N Korea, keep your money in it as you see it vanish into thin air. Then Watch what happens to the price of Gold and Silver. Make the pledge now Max! LOL!

    One of the most important foundations of a successful economy is to have a stable currency so that prices are stable and the money holds its value. This will never be true with cryptos because their supply is horribly mismatched to demand. Either there is not enough bitcoin and the price zooms up as the masses jump in to it, or other cryptos jump on the bandwagon and there is no limit to the supply. There is no mechanism for stability - they are just a speculative currency. Of course, PMs are quite inflexible as well and can't match supply with the substantial demand fluctuations of a vibrant economy - but at least can't be inflated to infinity.
    Go ahead and make a killing on a speculative rise in crypto prices, they will not be the sound money basis of a successful economy.

It's terrifying not knowing how to prepare for the possibility that all of our dollars will soon become worthless pieces of paper. And we need to move away from central banking. Reset things to 1912.

      @@wrongfulconvictions0312 Thanks for the explanation. Yes, hyperinflation is not excluded, especially with stimulus checks which goes on the level of trillions. That much money injected on the markets should lead to the depreciation of the dollar even quicker. Somehow I'm surprised it didn't already happen. The FED is doing something to keep the level of the dollar still respectable, but I don't know how they are doing it...
      I was surprised at your initial comment, saying that Bitcoin itself should be on the gold standard, since bitcoin seems to be even better in the modern world, and for the more digital world, than gold. 1 Bitcoin has the value of over 55 thousand dollars today.
      We have MicroStrategy, Square and Tesla, big names - putting Bitcoin on their balance sheet, they don't consider gold right now.
      That tells me, they have done the research and understand, the world is ready for a new form of currency. Bitcoin is not digital FIAT as Peter Schiff was saying. USDT - Tether or stable coins are digital FIAT, or the Chinese YUAN which was just now launched digital fiat, but not Bitcoin. At least that's my perception.

Bitcoin may not yet be but it seems it has a huge chance to become as all will want the freedom it offers. Unlike a VIRTUAL HOUSE, bitcoin actually GIVES what it was designed to do: allow super easy and a fast transfers. GOLD DOES NOT. The comparison with a virtual house on internet was IDIOTIC. House is to provide PHYSICAL shelter a CURRENCY a TOKEN transfer characteristic and those are not PHYSICAL necessarily. A house on internet makes no sense but CURRENCY does make sense.

    the one thing in bitcoin favor is that the 1% cant manipulate the price by shorting or trading futures.. The only people that can sell bitcoin is those that own bitcoin. Thats the problem with gold and silver pete.. Everything is moving along, things are looking great and one whale shorts a bunch of paper gold on the market and we loose our steam... I like gold but the fact it has paper contracts is a real problem. Also Pete the value in the Bitcoin is the blockchain.. The labor and cost of the computation of the block chain in energy and hardware is just like the cost of mining gold or silver. I cant use bitcoin for industrial uses like conducting energy or filling a cavity so in that area gold and silver win.

      Mike Maloney gets it. He's much less emo about gold and objective when it comes to the reality of decentralization and it's benefits.
      Dinos go extinct for a reason. BTC is already used by retailers like overstock and expedia. More and more people, for better or worse, live their lives on their phones, including all to the people in areas without access to banking that can now conduct international commerce using cryptos using their little shitty nokia phone and a solar generator.
      I'm able to pay for web development and other profeassional services with it and its' easily convertible into USD.
      I doubt I'll ever be able to buy starbucks with physical precious metals, but I will be able to use a TenX visa loaded with Bitcoin to do so relatively soon, there are other crypto atm/debit cards on the market already.
      Don't get me wrong, I understand the wisdom of PM, and hold a good chunk but I'd be much less wealthy today if I took Peter's advice as gospel and opposed to just an item for consideration.
      The ones being led to the slaughter, IMO, are those that cannot see the value of a non-debt-based currency. One of the most stable currencies in history was the tally stick for chrissakes. I piece of wood with notches in it. Outside of firewood what intrinsic value did that have?
      Another thing to consider is how slow the velocity of capital will be if the whole world conducted each transaction using physical PM. The velocity of money would become molasses at that point. Sure you might have a puddle of gold but most likely not allot coming in the door from people that don't have any gold themselves (which I'm sure is the majority of everyone's clients/customers unless you're a gold dealer or financial advisor).
      Everybody has access to bitcoin and can exchange their debt based, central bank issued currency for as little BTC as they want. Not nearly the same dynamic with Gold, what millennial is going actually walk into rare coin store and trade USD for Gold/Silver or platinum? Not many. How many will likely send something from one account to another using just their phone/tablet/laptop? Just about all of them.
      Not trying to flip but good luck with that.
