Peter Schiff, known for his criticism of cryptocurrencies, went to the social media website X and trolled “Bitcoiners” following the recent Bitcoin halving event. Schiff patronizingly congratulated Bitcoin holders and asked if they were now “throwing parties.”. 
“Congratulations, Bitcoiners, on the Halving. Are you guys commemorating this occasion by throwing parties tonight? I haven’t been invited to any,” Schiff wrote.

This event was designed to manage Bitcoin’s scarcity and control inflation, as the total supply is capped at 21 million.
