Peter Schiff Explains Why Bitcoin Isn't Going To Zero, But For Most Investors 'It Will Feel Like Zero'
“But for all practical purposes, for most investors, it will feel like zero... Bitcoin will lose over 99% of its market value, even if it still trades above zero.”

Jun 13, 2026 · $64,421From Nothing Bitcoin Came, And To Nothing It Will Return
“Bitcoin has enough true believers that it will stick around for a while. It will rise and fall, but the broad trend will likely now see it returning to its origin. It had its day in the sun, but the easy-money sun is now dipping below the horizon.”

“I thought it was meant to be an offset, something that you could compensate for having exposure to risky assets... It didn't really do that to that extent.”

Apr 9, 2026 · $71,117He Predicted 2008 Crash — Now He Says Bitcoin Could Collapse To Zero. Should Crypto Investors Worry?
“The reason I didn’t [buy Bitcoin] is they explained that the way that the public ledger is kept safe is that it takes too much energy to break it... That means it’s got a huge requirement for energy use.”

Feb 24, 2026 · $64,080$BTC [Is] Done. Cooked. Toast. EL Finito.
“You had a hell of a run - well played. But now it is game over. It always was based on hype, not fundamentals. Now that the mo is gone, all you are left with is the chart and narrative. You can’t defend the valuation. Nobody can. Four year cycle, stock to flow, digital gold - what is the next BS narrative? I can’t wait for the haters to go nuts in their responses to this post. The ad hominem attacks, the profanity, the hate - that is the way you roll. Are you capable of fact based, civil discourse? Most unlikely. Or will you just embarrass yourselves because you can’t be polite. It will be my pleasure to block every single one of you. The X audience will delight in your display of hate and ignorance This will be glorious.”

Feb 16, 2026 · $68,843Crypto Is A Victim Of Its Own Success
“The traditional “fundamental” case for bitcoin has been that because its supply is permanently capped at 21 million coins, it can serve as a hedge against inflation in traditional currencies such as the dollar. But the geopolitical turmoil, economic uncertainty, and drop in the value of the dollar relative to other major currencies in recent months have undermined this case. If bitcoin truly served as a hedge, then its value should have risen sharply. Instead, its value plummeted. That’s because bitcoin is not a hedge: It’s a speculative asset, which is valuable solely because people think it is valuable.”

Feb 13, 2026 · $68,858Bitcoin’s Plunge Should End The Hype That It Is Digital Gold
“That said, gold has been a good store of value over the long term, and its correlation with equities is low. In this respect it is a proven alternative to the U.S. dollar, whereas Bitcoin is neither a vehicle currency nor a good store of value.”

Feb 10, 2026 · $68,794Bitcoin Is In Its Final Stages
“Bitcoin is in its final stages. Hundreds of billions have been invested into something with literally zero utility or intrinsic value. It was created by gamblers, pedophiles, and criminals, then sold to the masses through fabricated narratives like “inflation hedge,” “store of value,” and “digital gold” to inflate prices for insiders. This will be the largest destruction of wealth in history. It is a giant game of musical chairs, and the music has stopped.”

Feb 9, 2026 · $70,121The $126K ATH May Have Been The Final ATH
“Despite unprecedented support from the media, Wall Street, and government, Bitcoin is trading below the $69K ATH it first hit in Nov. 2021. At no point in its 16-year history did Bitcoin ever trade below a prior ATH four years later. The $126K ATH may have been the final ATH.”

Feb 8, 2026 · $69,282Bitcoin Is Still About $69,000 Too High
“This week has shown us that the supply of “greater fools” that bitcoin relies on is drying up. The fairy tales that have been keeping crypto afloat are turning out to be just that. People are beginning to wake up to the fact that there is no floor in the value of something based on nothing more than thin air. Ask yourself: is this thing still going to be going in 100 years’ time? And remember that “what really matters isn’t how you fall, it’s how you land”. Jusqu’ici tout va bien, jusqu’ici tout va bien, jusqu . . .”

“Every time I ask a Bitcoin true believer to explain why they think it has any long-term value- beyond the ability to convince someone else to give them more than they paid for it- I come away more certain that Bitcoin has no long-term value, and a floor price of zero”

Feb 4, 2026 · $73,033Our BTC Price Target Is 0.0
“Our BTC price target is 0.0. That's not just for shock factor. It's where the math takes us. It's not worked as a dollar hedge, rather it's just a speculative instrument correlated to the Nasdaq. It's not gaining any traction as medium of exchange. No serious central bank will ever own something where Michael Saylor controls the float. The miners (who are the network) are bleeding cash. It's horribly inefficient as a transaction processor and wastes tremendous amounts of energy. Nothing "green" about this "coin". We think it's a zero.”

“For a cohort of investors once convinced that computer code was superior to shiny metal, the recent stretch of greenback weakness has been a definitive wake-up call: Bitcoin failed to act as a macro hedge just as the so-called ‘debasement’ trade was back in vogue.”

“(TRANSLATED) At this point, arguments to support a solid rationale for Bitcoin are beginning to run out. In my opinion, only one factor explains this paradoxical scenario of an absolutely favorable year across the board turning into an unfavorable year for Bitcoin. That factor? The US announcing itself with enormous fanfare as the world leader in cryptocurrencies.”
