Peter Schiff reignited debates in the crypto community with a response to Michael Saylor’s recent tweet. In Saylor’s X post, he praised <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/microstrategy-stock-races-ahead-leaving-bitcoin-in-the-dust/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">MicroStrategy’s stock performance,</a> highlighting the success of its Bitcoin strategy.&nbsp;
The intelligence and software firm’s Net Asset Value(NAV) premium recently <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/microstrategy-nav-premium-soars-amid-bitcoin-market-turbulence/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">saw a new peak level despite Bitcoin’s rocky ride</a>. This impressive feat sparked Saylor’s enthusiasm for X.&nbsp;

Schiff’s response prompted questions about his true motivations within the Bitcoin discourse. Critics began to speculate whether he was leveraging Bitcoin’s popularity for media attention. When called out by a user, Schiff <a href="https://x.com/PeterSchiff/status/1845577664259625197" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">clarified</a> his position, stating, “I don’t own any Bitcoin.” He emphasized that he would support Bitcoin if gaining engagement was his goal.&nbsp;
Despite his assertions, Schiff’s ongoing critiques have undeniably captured the crypto community’s attention. His comments often provoke responses from prominent Bitcoin advocates, keeping him relevant in the ongoing conversation.&nbsp;
While he may not hold Bitcoin, Schiff cleverly uses his contrarian views to maintain a presence in the market.

Over the past months, the leading cryptocurrency has faced considerable market pressure. Amidst all the challenges, volatility remains a critical factor in its decline trajectory. In September, Schiff, Bitcoin’s longtime detractor, <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/peter-schiff-predicts-bitcoin-slump-below-58000-as-precious-metals-rally/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">predicted that the virtual asset would dip further below $58,000</a>.&nbsp;
The digital asset was then teetering just above this threshold, trading at $58,592. Before this prediction, <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/peter-schiff-and-peter-brandt-clash-over-price-action-bitcoin-turmoil/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Schiff clashed with veteran trader Peter Brandt</a> over Bitcoin’s market performance in comparison to gold.&nbsp;
This month, Bitcoin has recently bounced back, surpassing $64,000. Currently, the digital asset is trading at $64,864.81, up by 3.47% in the last 24 hours, according to <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CoinMarketCap</a> data. Several factors, including increased institutional support and favorable market sentiment, likely drive this price surge.&nbsp;
Traders focus on key resistance levels between $64,000 and $65,000 as Bitcoin trades upward. Although its <a href="https://thecoinrise.com/bitcoin-search-popularity-slips-will-it-break-the-stalemate/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">search popularity on Google has slipped</a> off recently, it is reportedly<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/bitcoin-dominates-as-best-performing-asset-despite-volatility-nydig/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> the best-performing digital asset despite volatility.</a>
