Peter Schiff Doesn't 'Hate Bitcoin' But Warns 'Millions' Will Lose More Than They Can Afford In 'Speculative Mania'
He believes this frenzy will ultimately lead to "millions" losing "sums far greater than they can afford," and will "tarnish the image of sound money and libertarian principles."Economist and market commentator Peter Schiff has issued a stark warning about the current speculative frenzy surrounding Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), asserting that millions of investors will lose sums far greater than they can afford.
經濟學家和市場評論員彼得·希夫對當前圍繞比特幣（數字貨幣：BTC）的投機狂潮發出嚴厲警告，聲稱數百萬投資者將失去超出他們承受能力的巨額資金。
What Happened: Schiff sought to highlight his concern about the misallocation of capital, and how the speculative mania around cryptocurrencies will damage the image of sound money principles.
發生了什麼：希夫試圖強調他對資本錯誤配置的擔憂，以及圍繞數字貨幣的投機狂熱將如何損害良好貨幣原則的形象。
In a tweet on Wednesday, Schiff stated that he does not "hate Bitcoin itself," but is deeply concerned by "the speculative mania in Bitcoin that has caused a huge misallocation of capital."
在週三的一條推文中，希夫表示他並不"討厭比特幣本身"，但對"圍繞比特幣的投機狂熱導致了巨大的資本錯誤配置"深感擔憂。
He believes this frenzy will ultimately lead to "millions" losing "sums far greater than they can afford," and will "tarnish the image of sound money and libertarian principles."
他認爲這種狂潮最終將導致"數百萬"人失去"超出他們承受能力的巨額資金"，並將"玷污良好貨幣和自由意志原則的形象。"
Schiff's remarks came in response to a question about his seemingly negative view of Bitcoin.
希夫的言論是對關於他似乎對比特幣持負面看法的問題的回應。
In an earlier tweet, Schiff predicted that when it becomes apparent that the U.S. government is not going to buy Bitcoin, investors who purchased it with this expectation will quickly sell, potentially triggering a sharp drop.
在之前的一條推文中，希夫預測，當人們意識到美國政府不會購買比特幣時，基於這一預期購買比特幣的投資者將迅速賣出，這可能會引發急劇下跌。
He believes MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) CEO Michael Saylor, will be forced to accelerate his leveraged Bitcoin buying in an attempt to "prevent a crash."
他認爲MicroStrategy（納斯達克：MSTR）首席執行官邁克爾·塞勒將被迫加速他的槓桿比特幣買入，以"防止崩潰。"
However, Schiff argues that this approach will ultimately only delay the crash and will "cause MSTR to crash first."
然而，希夫認爲這種做法最終只會推遲崩潰，並會"首先導致MSTR崩潰。"

Why It Matters: Schiff's comments are driven by his long-standing belief that Bitcoin is not a legitimate store of value, and the current market is driven by irrational exuberance and misguided speculation.

In December, Schiff disagreed with Michael Saylor's analogy comparing Bitcoin to real estate, stating the latter generates rents, but Bitcoin doesn't generate any income to make interest or principal payments.
在12月，Schiff不同意Michael Saylor的類比，將比特幣與房地產業進行比較，指出後者能產生租金，但比特幣並不產生任何收入來支付利息或本金。
The Bitcoin critic also mulled the hypothetical introduction of a new government-backed cryptocurrency with a supply limit of 21 million.
