Bitcoin’s legendary critic does not believe that a rise in the price of digital currency changes its reserve status, which has been linked to gold
When seeing the rise of Bitcoin, some CNBC channel journalists said that digital currency outperformed gold as an inflation hedge, as the metal continues to depreciate during the year in the midst of the global crisis, while the BTC grows against the dollar. For Peter Schiff, a legendary trader who dislikes Bitcoin, this is an important signal for gold, which could renew its rally in the market.
“Anchors at CNBC agree that gold has lost its luster. Which has been replaced as a safe haven against inflation by Bitcoin, other cryptos and NFTs. This is a bullish signal for gold and is exactly the analysis you’d expect to hear from CNBC just before a big gold rally!”

What could hold Bitcoin higher in the coming days is the “cooling” of investor interest in trading the cryptocurrency, according to Google data.
