Prominent Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff has expressed his opinions on the lack of usefulness of Bitcoin in response to a pro-Bitcoin investor's statement. Schiff argues that resources like gold and oil are more practical and vital to the world economy. He highlights the practical advantages of gold in industries such as jewelry and electronics, while emphasizing the essential role of oil in manufacturing, transportation, and energy. Schiff contends that Bitcoin does not address a practical need and its value is primarily speculative. However, he acknowledges that Bitcoin offers decentralized financial access, serving as a safe haven for value storage and transfers in nations with unstable economies or repressive political regimes. Despite their differences, both Bitcoin and gold serve important purposes, and investors can choose whichever asset they prefer.
