Peter Schiff's Grim Forecast: Microstrategy's Bitcoin Gamble Nears Dangerous Limits

Economist Peter Schiff warns that Microstrategy's plan to spend $42 billion to buy bitcoin, funded by debt and equity, could result in a liquidity trap. Schiff compares the strategy to a joke about a trader who buys increasingly large quantities of egg futures as prices rise, but is unable to sell when prices eventually decline. He believes that if bitcoin prices decline or stabilize, Microstrategy and its executive chairman, Michael Saylor, could be negatively affected. Schiff frequently criticizes bitcoin and promotes gold, and he has also raised concerns about the potential impact of a Trump victory on bitcoin and the Federal Reserve's policies.
