"Grayscale is the biggest Bitcoin buyer now"
Vocal Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff has recently referred to Grayscale, calling it the biggest Bitcoin buyer, expecting the company to turn into the largest BTC seller when "the bubble pops."
Schiff went at Grayscale for relaunching its viral Bitcoin vs. gold television ad and rebuking the investment fund for manipulating the Bitcoin market and pumping the coin's exchange rate via paid ads on CNBC.
Schiff also stated that the media giant pays back for these ads by inviting Bitcoin supporters as guests and keeping Bitcoin critics away from the air.
