Investor and financial commentator Peter Schiff, known for his critical stance on Bitcoin, has once again voiced a critical opinion on Bitcoin, highlighting its poor performance in Q2 compared to gold.
According to Schiff, Bitcoin’s value has dropped over 15% as it approaches the end of Q2, while gold has seen a 4% gain during the same period.
#Gold closed Q2 with a 4% gain. #Bitcoin still has two more days left to trade, but as of now it’s down over 15%. Investors who sold gold ETFs at the end of Q1 to buy Bitcoin ETFs are 20% worse off. The bad news for those investors is that it will likely get much worse from here.

This disparity has led Schiff to caution investors who might have shifted from gold ETFs to Bitcoin ETFs, stating that they are now 20% worse off and predicting that the situation could deteriorate further.
Bitcoin’s recent price movements show a decline from just under $71,000 to approximately $60,800, marking a more than 14% drop.
This dip follows a substantial rise earlier in the year, where Bitcoin soared nearly fivefold from its January 2023 lows to a new all-time high above $73,500 in mid-March. Despite this correction, some analysts consider it part of a larger bull market.
Julio Moreno from CryptoQuant has noted a decrease in Bitcoin demand, with a reduction of 23,000 Bitcoins in the past 30 days, which he links to the current price correction.
