The financial economist also disclosed a notable disparity in the price of Bitcoin as compared to Gold.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to Schiff, BTC recently <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/peterschiff\/status\/1775000459851215167?s=46\">experienced<\/a> a price decrease of more than $3,000 in \u201c10 minutes,\u201d indicating a 4.5% decline in its overall price value. He stated that this decrease would be equivalent to a $100 decline in gold within the same time frame.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While highlighting BTC&#8217;s price drop, Schiff revealed that gold was outperforming, demonstrating a modest uptick and poised for further gains. The economist also <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/peterschiff\/status\/1774775495583744127?s=46\">emphasized<\/a> a lack of transparency in platforms like CNBC, alleging that the business channel was a \u201cpaid promoter of Bitcoin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He revealed that CNBC had \u201conce again\u201d ignored gold\u2019s recent record high, asserting that the network was dedicated to promoting BTC, possibly contributing to its price pump. Moreover, Schiff disclosed that the failure of the Bitcoin to gold ratio to reach an all-time high underscores Bitcoin\u2019s limited potential compared to gold.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The renowned economist <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/peterschiff\/status\/1774468467917193625?s=46\">argued<\/a> that Bitcoin\u2019s inability to make a new high in relation to gold undermines its case for being a digital gold, potentially hinting that the cryptocurrency is not fit to serve as the ultimate digital store of value. He has consistently lauded gold\u2019s value and potential, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/peterschiff\/status\/1774647068931375612?s=46\">disclosing<\/a> earlier on April 1 that the precious metal is set for significant returns, potentially catching investors and banks off guard.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Financial_Expert_Says_Buy_More_BTC\"><\/span>Financial Expert Says Buy More BTC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Schiff dissuades the crypto community members from investing in Bitcoin, Robert Kiyosaki, the author of best best-selling novel \u2018Rich Dad Poor Dad,\u2019 has <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/therealkiyosaki\/status\/1773568731635200395?s=46\">urged<\/a> investors and crypto enthusiasts to acquire the valuable digital asset.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a recent X post, Kiyosaki advised the broader crypto community to purchase real Bitcoin, highlighting the lack of value in fiat currencies like the dollar and Chinese Yen.
