    Schiff is back at it again&nbsp;&nbsp;
    
    After prematurely calling the orange coin "the worst-performing asset" of the decade and <a href="https://u.today/peter-schiff-says-owning-bitcoin-btc-was-bad-idea-after-losing-access-to-his-wallet">embarrassing himself</a> by losing access to his Bitcoin wallet, Schiff has been relatively silent on the topic.&nbsp;
    
    Recently, he once again emerged on crypto Twitter to comment on his fellow Fed hater Max Keiser converting&nbsp;America's top conspiracy theorist <a href="https://u.today/peter-schiff-on-alex-jones-embracing-bitcoin-btc-this-is-how-manias-end">Alex Jones</a> into a Bitcoin proponent. &nbsp;&nbsp;

    Does Schiff have a point?&nbsp;
    
    Now, Schiff continues&nbsp;harping on the same string that Bitcoin is not money, and everyone who plans on investing in it is&nbsp;in for a rude awakening. He believes that whales at the top of the food chain have <a href="https://u.today/bitcoin-whales-are-selling-btc-before-market-crash-peter-schiff">complete control</a> over the market.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
    
    Schiff's claim that Bitcoin can be considered a pyramid scheme might sound extreme but he's not the only prominent analyst that has called BTC such a nasty name.&nbsp;

    The fake news spread by <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bitcoin</a> pumpers is amazing.

When CNBC and CNN no longer invite you as a token bear, trashing Bitcoin on social media might help you stay relevant.  

Peter Schiff, the CEO of Euro Pacific Capital, has just fired off a tweet about the number one cryptocurrency being "a pyramid scheme." In such a way, the gold bug wants to prove that BTC has no place in your portfolio.

Schiff is back at it again  

After prematurely calling the orange coin "the worst-performing asset" of the decade and embarrassing himself by losing access to his Bitcoin wallet, Schiff has been relatively silent on the topic. 

Recently, he once again emerged on crypto Twitter to comment on his fellow Fed hater Max Keiser converting America's top conspiracy theorist Alex Jones into a Bitcoin proponent.   

The permabear even went as far as "acknowledging" Bitcoin's past gains that could have actually turned 100 grams of gold into eight tons.

Does Schiff have a point? 

Now, Schiff continues harping on the same string that Bitcoin is not money, and everyone who plans on investing in it is in for a rude awakening. He believes that whales at the top of the food chain have complete control over the market.   

Schiff's claim that Bitcoin can be considered a pyramid scheme might sound extreme but he's not the only prominent analyst that has called BTC such a nasty name.
