Peter Schiff warns Bitcoin will "break down hard"
Prominent financial expert and head of Euro Pacific Capital Peter Schiff has recently taken another jab at Bitcoin in a recent tweet.

At the same time, the expert believes that precious metals miners will see a breakout, with gold stocks emerging as the next tech stocks. “Either prepare for this new reality or suffer the consequences,” he concluded. This is not the first time Schiff has doubted Bitcoin’s potential as a long-term investment. Previously, he argued that despite BTC's 20% spike following the Federal Reserve's policy shift, gold remains the better inflation hedge.
