Experienced trader Peter Brandt has accused economist and gold advocate Peter Schiff of using his critiques of Bitcoin to attract attention and grow his social media following. In response, Schiff defended himself, stating that he is simply offering his genuine perspective on the investment risks associated with Bitcoin.

Brandt's criticism of Schiff, expressed on social media platform X, suggests that Schiff's negative comments about Bitcoin are driven by a desire for attention and that many of his previous predictions have not materialized. Despite Schiff's consistent predictions of Bitcoin's downfall, they have yet to come true, leading some, including Brandt, to question his motives.

In response to Brandt's critique, Schiff defended his position by stating that he is genuinely warning people about the high risks associated with investing in Bitcoin, which he views as an "imaginary horse." While reactions to the exchange between Brandt and Schiff varied, some supported Schiff's perspective while others criticized him for constantly focusing on Bitcoin, which he claims to dislike.
