</ul> 
Peter Schiff, a vocal opponent of Bitcoin, has once again expressed his skepticism towards the cryptocurrency, particularly targeting Michael Saylor, for what Schiff describes as misleading the public with overly <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/is-michael-saylors-massive-bet-on-bitcoin-a-genius-move-or-financial-madness/">optimistic predictions</a> about Bitcoin’s future.&nbsp; 
Schiff’s criticism comes in the wake of Saylor’s recent address at the H.C. Wainwright Annual Global Investment Conference in New York, where Saylor shared his transformative journey from a Bitcoin skeptic to a staunch advocate. 
Schiff, known for his preference for gold over digital currencies, articulated his concerns via a social media post, suggesting that the path promoted by Saylor typically culminates in substantial financial losses for most. “It begins with a sucker and ends with heavy losses” Schiff remarked about the Bitcoin investment cycle, directly challenging the narrative Saylor presented at the conference. 
During his speech, Saylor recounted his initial doubts about Bitcoin back in 2013, a time when he equated the digital currency with online gambling and predicted a short lifespan for it. 
&nbsp;“I’ve seen the light. Bitcoin is gonna change the world. It’s unstoppable” Saylor asserted during his keynote, illustrating his complete 180-degree turn in belief. 
Schiff, unmoved by such testimonies, has proposed a public debate with Saylor, lamenting that while Saylor often references him in discussions, he has yet to accept a direct debate. “Again Saylor mentions me, but won’t debate me” Schiff <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/peter-schiff-warns-microstrategys-bitcoin-success-not-guaranteed/">stated</a>, highlighting his readiness to challenge Saylor’s views openly.

 Again Saylor mentions me, but won't debate me. In truth, the Bitcoin journey is not quite as he describes. It beings with a sucker and ends with heavy losses.

Saylor’s journey with Bitcoin is <a href="https://www.ethnews.com/saylors-2-billion-bitcoin-plan-amid-market-chaos-desperation-or-strategy/">well-documented</a>, transitioning from disbelief to full endorsement, often describing it as a typical evolution for individuals getting involved with the cryptocurrency.

 Yes, <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Bitcoin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Bitcoin</a> has a limited supply. As long as more people want to buy it, but those who already own it don't sell, the price goes up. But when the supply of new buyers runs low and those who own it want or need to sell it, the lack of new demand causes the price to crash.<a href="https://twitter.com/saylor?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@saylor</a>

In contrast, Schiff has remained consistent in his dismissal of Bitcoin since 2011, despite its growing acceptance and nearly continuous appreciation in value over the years.
