Time To Sell Bitcoin
Taking to Twitter, Peter Schiff posted what he called his “Christmas gift” to bitcoin investors. The post followed the usual trend of bashing BTC, with a chart that he used to support his claim. The chart which shows the trend of the digital asset over the last six months pointed out that a support level had been turned into resistance.
Schiff said the chart shows that “bitcoin is much closer to its ceiling than it is to its floor.” As such, he believes that there is little to no potential for the digital asset to make a recovery. Instead, he expects a decline and has advised investors to sell as it is the “Smart move.”
My #Christmas gift to #HODLers is this #Bitcoin chart. As you can see Bitcoin is much closer to its ceiling than its floor. The yellow line that was once support is now resistance. Since the upside potential is so low and downside risk so high, the smart move is to sell today. pic.twitter.com/lPOLABGEQQ

As expected, Schiff’s tweet was met with resistance from BTC investors. One of the top comments under the post was of a user who said that the economist telling people to sell was a “major buy signal from Peter Schiff.”
Another user posted a screenshot of one of Schiff’s tweets from 2018 where he warns that buying bitcoin at $3,800 was a bad idea. Three years after that tweet, BTC would reach its all-time high of $69,000, more than 15x the price Schiff warned investors not to purchase it.
Look at Peter, giving out the Christmas presents!
The greatest gift of all has always been a @PeterSchiff fade!
