Zhao Throws Jibe At Schiff
Zhao sarcastically admitted that Bitcoiners “should have listened” to Schiff’s forecast now that BTC has plunged 32% against gold since its August peak. He did, however, point out that the two-month period represents only 1% of BTC’s 16-year existence.
“I am sure Bitcoin fluctuated negatively against gold more than that, except BTC went from $0.004 to $110,000 in 16 years,” the cryptocurrency mogul countered.
