Is Bitcoin About To Crash? - Prepare Now For The Coming Market Crash | Peter Schiff vs Raoul Pal

[@cryptowolf-zf3fs]

I love Both! Bitcoin and Gold (some silver too) Take profit from Bitcoin and buy a little gold as backup. Get some land too if the taxes are reasonable. Its best to have several piles of profitable stuff.

What was needed was sorely lacking - someone to tell them that they're both wrong . The rich man's game is coming to an end . That's why all of the big hitters are selling their stocks in their own companies , and why they have built and are ready to go into their underground bunkers . They know what's coming because they planned it all , and they know it's not going to be pretty . Especially for those on the surface , where they don't intend to be .

That will never happen. Saylor will never debate Peter Schiff because he has too much invested in $hitCOIN and knows full well that Peter is more than capable of instilling his greatest fear and more than the small amount of doubt required to SCHIFFt the HODL (Hold On for Dear Life) mentality to RYL (Run for Your Life). GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN. $hitCOIN is the 2nd biggest ponzi in history, second only to the largest ever ponzi scheme currently being run by the US Government with the aid of the Federal Reserve.

[@russbilderback]

Schiff doesn't belong in a room with Saylor, and Michael probably wouldn't waste his time with Schiff.

[@FIX-IT-Yourself]

@@russbilderback YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!!! Saylor doesn't belong in a room with Schiff he belongs in a prison cell. The amount of people he advocates should invest all their money into $HITCOIN is criminal. A lot of people, including you obviously and every other HODLer, will unfortunately be left holding a digital wallet 'full of nothing' when the 'whale pumpers' like Saylor head for the exits, culminating in a huge transfer of wealth from the foolish greedy delusional (getting in at the elevated price levels) to the cunning and nefarious who will decide the best opportunity to exit this massive ponzi scheme. Good luck to you and all the others who freely participate in this 2nd largest ponzi scheme, second only to the largest ponzi scheme currently being run by the US Government and the Federal Reserve. Don't say you haven't been warned or cry to the government for regulation. No one should take pity or have any sympathy for anyone who gets burned playing with fire.

[@aries6776]

Why? Schiff would just embarrass himself even more with his anti-bitcoin mania. BTC is overtaking silver shortly in market cap and in a couple of years I think it will have surpassed gold too.

[@frankscott1708]

Despite Peter & Raoul being so close in age, I can't help but notice how they embody the thought patterns and conversational styles of their respective generations. Peter is pretty solidly a Baby Boomer in strength of conviction and emphasis on values and continuity. Meanwhile Raoul is classic Gen-Xer, introducing a lot of space for uncertainty, self-critiquing and investigating the implicit biases of the different economic narratives.

[@ianvishnevsky8030]

The market trend can turn around very quickly. In fact, the indexes often switch from a bear market to a bull market when the news is at its worst and the mood of investors is at its lowest point. I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $150k during this crash, I think bitcoin is the best to buy now or put on a watchlist

[@wellingtonmichael1397]

Right especially in an inflationary environment, investors should be cautious about how much they expose themselves to and what they buy. Only under the direction of a reputable advsor or skilled specialist is it possible to obtain such high yields during a recession.

[@luketaylor1828]

True .Initially I wasn't quite impressed with my gains, opposed to my previous performances, I was doing so badly, figured I needed to diversify into better assets, I touched base with a f-advsor and that same year, I pulled a net gain of 550k...that's like 7times more than I average on my own.

I recommend diversifying your investments by considering stocks alongside real estate. During a recession, there are potential buying opportunities in the stock market if approached cautiously. Additionally, market volatility can offer short-term buying and selling opportunities. However, please note that this is not financial advice. It's important to be proactive in investing as cash may not be the most advantageous option during these times.

And your channel is great too, every minute of it. That said they never mentioned about confiscability of gold as was done several times in the past. In essence, Bitcoin is about Property Rights. For example, during WWII the nazi government looted over $200 million in gold from the Jews (which equates approximately to over $4 Billion in 2020 currency) to finance their wars to acquire more land. Because someone (or a government) can just kill you to take your gold. But today with Bitcoin (aka “digital gold”) they can still kill you but they cannot get the bitcoin(s) as easily as gold.

​@Donkor640 I was in bitcoin at $8 when I was a teenager playing video games and some dude told me about it and all I could do with it was buy drugs on silk road. While I kick myself every day for selling way prematurely, instead of realizing how many suckered there would be, I definitely agree with Peter's side. Bitcoin has no more intensic value than fiat currency. It makes no sense. It's like the great Tulip speculation. It's based on "muh technology" and "you boomers wouldn't understand". I was a 20 year old bitcoin (almost) millionaire and today I have gold, silver, guns, ammo, and real estate...Bitcoin never added up, I'm still skeptical that it's some globalist banker psyop tbh. Today it feels like people are reeled into it as a pump n dump dreaming of the massive upside people like me had...well...I think that's over. Any nominal rise in bitcoin will be due to pure speculation and inflation of the underlying fiat currencies used to purchase it.

[@Donkor640]

@@griftinggamer That’s an amazing story to have $8 BTC! I wouldn’t beat yourself up about selling it though, because nobody expected it to be this huge in such a relatively short period. Even Raul has a story of selling off a bunch of his Bitcoin after making huge gains on his early investment. I think the problem people have with taking cryptocurrencies seriously is that it’s human nature to cling to the way we’ve done things in the past. There’s a level of certainty in the status quo, and there’s its uncomfortable to branch out into something new. But once you explore the Crypto space and realize how many innovative projects are being developed, you really get the sense that this space will be a large part of the global economy. I’m convinced that anyone who doesn’t understand that part of the puzzle just hasn’t done any research in this space. I’m almost 50 and the overarching narrative of my lifetime (thus far), is that if you can’t keep up with emerging technologies then you’re going to be stuck in the slow lane doing things the hard way.

And then what? If BTC is 2 or 3 million in 4 years, Schiff will still be able to say it "will go to zero, because it has no intrinsic value", and Pal could be saying BTC will bounce right back if BTC is around 5000 by that time. But what is obvious is that although there are extreme fluctuations, the lows are getting higher with each run. So, watching it again in 4 years will most likely be a disappointment, because it will give NO clear answer to who was right. But my money is on BTC.

This was one of the most fascinating debates I have ever listened to. I am seventy years old and have been self employed since my late twenties. I appreciated both sides of the discussion and the moderator did a fantastic job in controlling the debate and expressing his own views. I think it’s fair to say that this debate reflected generational differences which added to the interest. I totally "got" Peter Schiff's perspective because his is the rationalization that I have grown up with. However, I was intrigued by Raoul Pal's perspective and actually found it inspirational, and perhaps that is what is needed in this world right now more than anything else. Congratulations to you three gentlemen, you all did yourselves proud!

[@investoroncoke]

They are both full of it. Bitcoin is a speculation product and a poor means of exchange Gold is a commodity and store of value but mostly propped up by peoples egos. Raoul exposed himself when he said the point he backs bitcoin is his ability to make money from it.. Dollars. It all comes back to making dollars - the real means of exchange.

[@JeffreySmith-v2l]

I don’t think the value of anything is determined collectively, but rather on an individual basis according to the need of the individual. Only you can decide what you can or can’t live without. When all things are scarce, the collective is not relevant, to the survival of the individual.

[@phantomcharger568]

Actually I'd say the real value of something is determined by what it cost to replace it. Bitcoin has no value other then what people think/say it's worth, gold cost man power, diesel, equipment, repairs, land and taxes paid on it to replace this real asset. (And even with that, there's still a finite amount of it in the ground) You can do literally nothing with digital tokens other then trade them, they have no real/actual value, but unlike other assets they do hog up a lot of real world electric and computing power. I would also add gold= money for 5k years Bitcoin= money for what, 10- 15 years? Yeah, no, sounds like a fad to me.

Possibly a few grammes of gold. But then, the electronics use Indium, Gallium, Iridium, and many other rare elements. There are more rare elements versus their utility than gold. Gold's primary use is store of value. Non store-of-value applications of gold (i.e. industrial, chemical) amount to about 8% of mined supply.

Gold was coined and used as money and now it is not. Gold today, worldwide, is only a "store of value". Yet, Peter Schiff only believes that unless bitcoin replaces the dollar and is used as a currency, it has not future and no value. Yet, Gold has lost its status as a currency. Peter Schiff demands of bitcoin what he does not demand of gold. By Peter's own admission, an asset class - gold in this case, that is not used as money, or currency, can still be a store of value.

[@peterschiff]

Gold is still used as a metal. That's where its value comes from and that's the value its able to store. But gold has been used by civilizations as money for thousands of year and likely will be again. Bitcoin has never been used by any civilization as money and likely never will be.

Physical gold and silver. In your possession not in a vault at a mint. That would be like having money in the bank and the grid going down and you can’t get it. Physical gold and silver is the only way to buy. It might cost a tiny bit more but it’s not even enough to notice. They want to keep the physical and sell you a piece of paper that says you own it because some mints have been found to have multiple orders with the same gold or silver as collateral. They end up selling you a piece of paper. They don’t own enough gold and silver to give you yours and everyone else theirs at the same time in a bad situation

Crazy thing, we can buy both!

Buy the one that can’t be duplicated…

[@J-Rad-]

What a concept

[@big_red_machine3547]

You own gold for the Mad Max apocalypse until there’s no food, otherwise you own bitcoin unless you want to “own nothing and be happy”

@@davidzawistowski4073it’s open source code! It’s been 14 years and thousands of cryptocurrencies have been created in that time. If you’re still worried about a duplicate project devaluing Bitcoin then you should do some more research.

The only thing Schiff got right is buying a gold Rolex. The only precious metals I own are in my luxury watches.

[@max92_AT]

respect, such a good interview. Tom MVP. The moderation allowed me for the first time to really understand Peter. Tom is really setting a new standard as to what a debate host should do. Summarize, use deep questions and keep his opinion out of it. really respect. cant think of a single another interviewer in recent times that did as good a job as you

How did no one bring up the fact that GOLD went from $1,750+/- in 2012 down to $1,000+/- in 2015? Gold is also a volatile asset also.

[@anotherperspective5682]

It's true, it's just the difference in volatility is vastly different. Gold had a traditional technical correction after a 600% run between 2001 and 2011. Losing less then 50% after a 600% gain is actually really impressive, I mean for a precious metals.

What happens to the value of bitcoin if computer people create several other digital currencies with a finite number of units?

[@smirking8457]

@@jobuhayes8767Nothing - because BTC is network dependent - as all value structures are

If there is a financial collapse I just can't see rushing to buy a digital chain letter. People throughout history rush to buy physical assets. Why take the risk in something digital

[@Edvilla24]

Great interview Tom. One of the best I’ve seen in a while. We need more constructive conversations like this to be able to creatively solve the debt crisis and avoid an economic collapse.

[@traderfermi2210]

It’s painful to see Peter Schiff saying he understands Bitcoin very well when it’s clear he has a very superficial and ossified understanding. He made up his mind already and keeps repeating the same talking points. He is obviously a smart man but this makes him think he understands Bitcoin fully after a few hours of homework and prevents him to dive deep into really interesting implications and use cases. Also, he says he’ll change his mind if it becomes legal currency. But that already happened in countries like El Salvador. Is it possible the US and many other places will face the same problems as El Salvador? Connect the dots, Peter.

[@WisdomIsPrecious]

That’s not true that he just repeats his points. He repeats them some, which we call consistency, but he also finds novel ways to express his ideas with new examples. Kind of like Lil Wayne.

[@Jfokes]

I’m a big crypto holder and tbh Peter shift has shifted my views slightly. I hold gold and I believe in both but Peter is somewhat right.

[@traderfermi2210]

@@Jfokes The one point where he's right is calling out the fact that Bitcoin isn't literally energy. I'm fine with an analogy but Saylor tends to imply it's actually digital energy. Which it's not. It is a proof that you've converted electrical energy into thermal energy. I don' agree with any of his other points and I'm on the fence with one

[@paulg6274]

​​@@WisdomIsPreciousbut his brain is not open to anything new. He's definitely missing some key points. I honestly think its some kind of defense mechanism at this point cause the cognitive dissonance would be so strong. He's staked way too much on this opinion, which he was wrong about, he can never give in now, he's too entrenched

[@mattx3174]

Well done Raoul. You were exceptional in this discussion. Reminded me of the famous quote...do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet...some people just dont get it, but thats ok thats their perogative.

[@wormhole-r3l]

Lol what does Peter not get exactly? Seems like someone's ego has been attacked because they attach it to their money

[@antondavidoff150]

the main reason things go up in value (not just numbers) is the population raise... without people nothing goes up in value
