Peter Schiff admitted Bitcoin reached the top of the market
On Jan. 4, vocal Bitcoin hater and faithful gold bug Peter Schiff took to his Twitter page to admit that Bitcoin had reached the top of the market.
This was his reaction to a respectable media outlet with a 123-year history, The Financial Times, featuring Bitcoin's rise above the $30,000 line.
That was all he said, however, without clarifying his tweet. It seems, though, that the Euro Pacific Capital CEO has not changed his stance on Bitcoin.
