Earlier in the week, Bitcoin (BTC) briefly plunged to a four-month low of under $77,000, giving gold advocate Peter Schiff another opportunity to ridicule crypto holders.<\/p>\n

With Ethereum (ETH) also hitting a 17-month low, slipping below $1,800, the outspoken economist didn\u2019t hold back, questioning the logic behind the U.S. government holding cryptocurrencies as reserve assets.<\/p>\n

Schiff Trolls Crypto Traders<\/h2>\n

Known for his longtime criticism of Bitcoin in particular and crypto in general, Schiff took to X to poke fun at crypto investors after BTC\u2019s latest downturn. The cryptocurrency\u2019s price had dropped<\/a> to $76,784, marking a 29% decline from an all-time high of $108,786 attained earlier in the year.<\/p>\n

Following the dip, Schiff suggested<\/a> that many so-called crypto millionaires might need to find other work soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow there\u2019s another reason to bring manufacturing back to the United States,\u201d he quipped. \u201cA lot of crypto millionaires are going to need jobs,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Despite the ribbing, some analysts believe Bitcoin\u2019s current correction matches<\/a> what happened in past bull cycles. In 2017, the asset saw an average correction of 35%, while in 2021, it was 37%. If history repeats, the coin could still fall to $70,000 before stabilizing, a possibility already predicted by BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes.<\/p>\n

He recently told traders to \u201cbe f***ing patient,\u201d suggesting that a bottom near $70,000 would be a normal part of the market cycle.<\/p>\n

Schiff Calls for Saylor\u2019s Ouster as MSTR Tumbles<\/h2>\n

Schiff didn\u2019t stop at Bitcoin\u2019s waning prices. He took aim at MicroStrategy (MSTR), now known as Strategy, which has invested billions<\/a> in the number one cryptocurrency, calling for the ouster of its Executive Chairman Michael Saylor.<\/p>\n

Since peaking in November 2024, the firm\u2019s stock has plunged over 55%, prompting Schiff to declare its Bitcoin acquisition plan had failed. \u201cClearly, the strategy is not working. The company needs a new CEO too. It\u2019s time to fire Saylor,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Saylor\u2019s defenders countered, pointing out that MSTR shares had surged 1,500% in the last five years, and still remained up 85% in the last six months. However, the Euro Pacific Capital CEO dismissed their protestations, insisting that insolvency was inevitable for Strategy. \u201cThe company is on its way to bankruptcy,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n

In a separate post, the investment strategist also criticized<\/a> ETH as well as its spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The financial products have plummeted 45% since their launch in July last year, while the world\u2019s second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization recently cracked below $1,800, a level last seen in November 2023.<\/p>\n
