Peter Schiff Suggests Bitcoin Relies On FOMO And Running HODLers
The price of Bitcoin is currently at $9.5k which has made a lot of bulls come out to say that now is the buying opportunity with sceptics claiming it is a chance to make digs. The gold bull, Peter Schiff is amongst the first to jump to the opportunity and rather than buying, he is doubling down on his bearish statement.
The funny thing is there are a few similarities between the nascent crypto market and the early days of the gold rush. Schiff is pointing to the market dynamics as a weakness while crypto market leaders are reminding him that gold, isn’t all that different after all, despite being a competing store of value that can’t quite double up as a payment method.
Recently showing signs of thawing BTC, Schiff took to Twitter after the community gifted him thousands of dollars worth of Bitcoin (like he needs it, right!). The stockbroker had an open mind on Bitcoin for a short time but he has seemingly gone back to his old way of thinking as he recently tweeted:
Bitcoin was a major marketing success for big buyers who got in early. But to really succeed they must dump what they pumped without crashing the price. Doing so requires creating enough FOMO to sucker institutional investors into coming aboard without HODLers jumping ship!

One user responded to Schiff, saying: “How he doesn’t get this I have no idea. And when you try and sell your gold back it’s typically at a higher discount than bitcoin.”
The popular expert trader and analyst, Luke Martin has made the comparison to gold, saying:
the same is true for gold.
the difference is the asymmetrical upside that still exists for Bitcoin

Putting a hole in Schiff’s thought process, Chainalysis research said that the whales usually buy-in when the price dips.
“Intensive analysis of bitcoin’s 32 largest wallets, however, shows these fears to be overblown. Our data demonstrates that Bitcoin whales are a diverse group, and only about a third of them are active traders. And while these trading whales certainly have the capability of executing transactions large enough to move the market, they have, on net, traded against the herd, buying on price declines.”

First introduction of the Caring Currency –
MEANINGFUL FUN & SOCIAL PROFIT
Caring Currency Project – a Fun and Exciting opportunity to be happier, make more friends find meaning in your life and build your reputation as being Part Of the Solution (POS) in business, society… JOIN US, and make China and the world a better place.
(How China Saved the World)
How? Help us create, develop and share the “Caring Currency” ecosystem – a much needed complimentary and alternative ecosystem to the high stress, high pressure, low satisfaction lifestyles we are living today. Become Part Of the Solution, create a Caring Currency used in a Lifestyle Of Health, Happiness And Sustainability (LOHHAS).
Ecosystem?
We live in ecosystems – Cultural, Financial and Environmental…they’re all related and interdependent. Actually, everything is dependent on our Environmental Ecosystem, because without food, water and air there is no human culture or opportunity to do business and support the human world we’ve created. Caring Currency will fill the gaps and connect the dots, making our lives meaningful.
The BLOCKCHAIN
The BLOCKCHAIN is the brilliant underlying technology of Bitcoin, creating a world-wide, peer-to-peer medium of exchange, accounting system with methods to store value. Build your reputation in a trustless system – no third party, but instead a face-to-face and peer-to-peer people-oriented platform. Caring Currency has priceless, special values – human values.
What about business? Show Me the Money…
Smart people realize that money is only money. You can’t eat or drink it. You can’t have a conversation with it, and as much as we need it and want it, it distorts our perspectives and controls our lives in many negative ways. The pursuit of money alone hurts us and the planet we depend on.
Caring Currency is a financial business on the BLOCKCHAIN – the home of the Republic Of Conscience.
Caring Currency is a New, Parallel World – in the Republic Of Conscience
Hard to define in old terms, nothing comparable to the Republic Of Conscience has existed until the connectivity of the internet and accounting of the BLOCKCHAIN made it possible… Old financial terms and structures that existed prior to the BLOCKCHAIN and Bitcoin – Money, Security, medium of exchange etc. will be naturally updated to freely serve people around the world in new ways.
Freedom..
Although we live different nations, with all their opportunities and restrictions, we can free ourselves from those burdens by changing our attitudes, outlook and decision-making criteria. Caring Currency expresses the Freedom of our individual State Of Mind in the Republic Of Conscience.
FUN…and Education
With a variety of fun coin names like KuaiLeBi (Happy Coin) and DUCKeCOIN, Caring Currency is (1.) first meant to bring light-hearted fun and smiles to people’s faces and make their lives and relationships happier, and (2.) secondly, exercise the practice of giving back to society, building generosity, social cohesion and harmony. (3.) Thirdly, give the masses practical, technical experience with virtualcurrency, wallets and transferring values through the BLOCKCHAIN.
INVESTMENT
What is most important to you? Money or Friends?
I have a question for you… can you buy friends?
Some people think they can, but the quality of those friendships are always very poor.
However, you can definitely “invest” in friendship by INVESTING IN YOURSELF. (To find more friends, you must invest in learning to BE a friend!)
HOW YOU CAN LEAD A HAPPIER, HEALTHIER, MORE MEANINGFUL LIFE
Take CARE of yourself,
Invest in yourself…
YOUR NETWORK – Join the leaders of the new world based on the BLOCKCHAIN…
YOUR EXPERTISE – the BLOCKCHAIN is less than 5 years old, you know more than most people!
YOUR SKILL SET – this is your opportunity to experiment, test and try new things!
YOUR RELATIONSHIPS – improve your relationships by improving yourself.
YOUR WEALTH – build a fortune to live a secure and meaningful future.
YOUR AMBITION – Helping others reach their positive goals, will provide the platform and resources for your ambitions.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
We are developing a new way to “buy friends” and gain respect – winning their hearts and minds through appreciation and “gifting” through the Caring Currency ecosystem.
Some people call it “Pay It Forward” but simply put, we’re developing a system of quantifying, distributing and recycling our goodwill. Join us and learn more.
What we need: Your skills, passion and commitment.
The benefit to you… Participating with passionate people, where you will find inspiration to create your own state of mind, money-making businesses and spinoffs.
What you need to do – no experience necessary!
Show your courage, commitment and support – Send us a 3 Finger Photo of yourself, and a brief explanation of your skills and how you want to use your skills to create a Caring Currency for a better world. Don’t forget to smile_!/
