Economist Schiff Claps Back: Understanding Bitcoin Isn't That Complex, The Issue Is Obvious

Abstract generation in progress

【BiBi】In the heated debate over the understanding of Bitcoin, economist Peter Schiff recently clashed with a viewpoint. Some say that ordinary people would be better off spending 40 hours understanding Bitcoin rather than 40 years holding depreciating bank-issued fiat currency. But Schiff responded directly: You don’t even need 40 hours; you can understand the core issues of Bitcoin in just a few minutes. This gold advocate’s remarks have once again sparked a confrontation between the crypto community and traditional economic schools. From fiat currency devaluation to digital assets, from time costs to comprehension difficulty, this debate reflects fundamental differences in how various investment groups view the nature of money. Who’s logic is more convincing, the market will ultimately decide.

Schiff is still stubborn as ever, really hilarious. The problem is obvious. Can the earnings in our wallet represent what he's saying?

Schiff, this guy really always criticizing Bitcoin, but his own gold hasn't gone up much either. Saying he can see through it in a few minutes? Why is he still rambling here?

Schiff is still old school, sticking stubbornly to gold and not letting go 40 hours to understand Bitcoin? We both think it's nonsense, but the direction is reversed People in the crypto circle and traditionalists just don't see eye to eye, they'll never agree If you ask me, the market will speak, time proves everything, stop talking nonsense Schiff really is increasingly out of touch with this era What's the problem? He just can't understand the logic on the chain Two sides have their own arguments, but money will be invested in the more valuable place Is the problem obvious? I think your view is the real issue

Schiff, this guy is really persistent. But honestly, can he see through Bitcoin issues in just a few minutes? Heh, maybe he hasn't deeply studied on-chain data and the complexity of arbitrage opportunities. His imagination is still not enough.

Schiff is still being stubborn, truly an old-fashioned stubborn person. BTC is BTC, why bother dragging banks into it?

schiff, this guy really is stubborn; the issues with Bitcoin aren't something you can see through in a few minutes. Holding paper money for 40 years is truly a joke, but Bitcoin is not a silver bullet either. These debates never end; let's see who finally makes the money. Fiat currency devaluation is a fact, but the gold enthusiasts always seem to want to defend their turf. Wait, what exactly are his issues? Seems like the same old arguments again. In my opinion, both sides are a bit stubborn—crypto circles and traditional finance each tout their own. schiff has always had this style; get used to it. Meanwhile, I still hold my coins. Is the problem obvious? I want to hear how this guy explains it. This debate is really unproductive; it's better to focus on mining and earning.

Schiff is still using the "can see through in a few minutes" rhetoric, but the facts show that he has never actually conducted technical validation. He didn't mention a word about the truly complex part of the protocol architecture.

Haha, Schiff is still arguing there. How many minutes does it take to see through Bitcoin? I think he saw through his gold business cooling down in just a few minutes.
