The post Peter Schiff Warns Investors to Sell Bitcoin Amidst Price Surge $62K appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Bitcoin has recently surged to $62,384 along with other financial assets that had previously been declining. This price surge comes amid rumors of a major pro-crypto announcement linked to the Trump family. However, renowned economist Peter Schiff is advising Bitcoin investors to consider selling.
Peter Schiff’s Warning
In a recent tweet Peter Schiff, a well-known economist and Bitcoin critic, has warned investors about bitcoin. He suggests that while Bitcoin’s recent gain is impressive, it might be wise to “sell Bitcoin into the rally.”
Schiff speculated that Bitcoin’s recent rise might be influenced by a vague commitment from Donald Trump’s sons regarding an imminent pro-crypto announcement. While details remain unclear, this speculation appears to have contributed to Bitcoin’s notable price increase.
Therefore, Schiff believes that the current price boost could be temporary, and investors might want to take advantage of it before potential future drops.
Community Reaction
Meanwhile, Peter’s analysis did not sit well with Bitcoin supporters. Mike Alfred, an entrepreneur, commented, “Bitcoin is not crypto, Peter. Come on, you’re regressing again.”
Similarly, another X user Brooklyn responded to Peter, saying, “BTC did not rise because of the Trump sons. Come on, Peter, at least make serious arguments.” Investors are eagerly awaiting any official updates that could impact Bitcoin’s future performance.
Bitcoin’s Price Surge
Yesterday, Bitcoin briefly peaked at $62,380 before retreating to $60,968, marking a 7% surge over the past 24 hours. This sharp rebound follows Bitcoin’s recent dip below a crucial support level, falling to $49,751 on August 5. It was the first time Bitcoin had dropped below $50,000 since February.
