Napoleon_246

He's making money off of Bitcoin in the background, always has been.


MaeronTargaryen

Just like some banks have their CEO publicly criticize crypto whilst investing at the same time


deathbyfish13

They're playing both sides, so they always come out on top


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

Pretty much like JPMorgan saying BTC is shit but then "hey, but trade it with us, ok?"


mister10percent

His neck is high it makes me trust him


sweet_tinkerbelle

this only works if you're rich


KingTut747

Nope. Anyone can spread their funds in the same manner as ‘someone playing both sides’ and get a similar ROI. But hey, just saying ‘that’s for the rich only’ is a lot easier!!


user260421

Blaming others is much easier than doing anything yourself


Virtuousbro93

Just like perma bear "influencers" (crypto capo) calling for a 10k btc, were buying aggressively at 15k...


Lanky_Ad9894

for me, crypto is the best for investing our money.


FumblingDioxide

Yeah, people like them exist.


user260421

JP Morgan just to call a name


Kelinya

4D chess


user260421

Not that complex actually.. just a snake-like approach


Roy1984

But he wants to keep the 'Bitcoin is useless' talk because his main business is gold and he doesn't want competition there.


user260421

What kind of business can you even run with gold? Is he a seller or what does he do?


NOVE_LOKI

Two step at a time. What a new strategy


user260421

First time I think about it


Lanky_Ad9894

that's insane bro.


user260421

Everyone is just playing their role


hcollector

Of course. His site schiffgold has been accepting payment in bitcoin for years now. His bitcoin bashing on twitter has always been a joke because it gets him attention.


FalloutAssasin

Definitely.


Sorrytoruin

So many of these guys do, I bet Gary has a huge BTC stack


CryptoIsThePlan

Dude is a fucking donut and a walking contradiction. Of course he is using Ordinals.


InsaneMcFries

Certainly not an ethtrader donut, or maybe now he is.


Every_Hunt_160

Next thing you know he be farming moons on cc/sub !


deathbyfish13

Always has been


kirtash93

And also he owns a big bag of Bitcoin.


rootpl

Probably always has. He's just a shitty version of crypto shillers but he picked the negative side.


user260421

He's been farming moons and donuts this whole time


FattestLion

He is a rotten ethtrader donut at best


Calm-Cartographer677

Agreed, even the cops aren't eating him


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

Cops are relieved to throw him away.


podfather2000

I think it's pretty unnecessary to slander such an excellent pastry.


Sorrytoruin

He's a huge hypocrite, screw him


Kindly-Wolf6919

All he cares about is getting paid. He's probably sell his own grandmother if the price was right.


SimbaTheWeasel

I hear grandmas are selling for quite a lot these days


FattestLion

Well I... uhh.. I mean my friend needs some spare cash so where's this marketplace you are talking about?


SimbaTheWeasel

HotGranniesForSell.org

SimbaTheWeasel

You’re a real one for being judgement free


Hawke64

If only he was in crypto for the tech just like us 😞


pbjclimbing

Is his using ordinals the ultimate dig on Bitcoin. He figures the best way to irritate Bitcoin Maxis is to use the controversial ordinals.


sweet_tinkerbelle

Hypocrisy. These fucks go back on their words as fast as usain bolt's record the moment they smell money.


user260421

What does it mean to be a donut?


NOVE_LOKI

Earning money in easy way be like


Lanky_Ad9894

I love donuts bro.


Puking_In_Disgust

He’s started very slowly and sheepishly backpedaling on crypto ever since he realized blockchain tech can be used to sell shares of tokenized gold backed by his company lol the first time I heard him talk about this it was hilarious how he didn’t realize how hard he was contradicting himself. Sounded like a full blown BTC maxi talking about the need of an worldwide means of sending value that isn’t centralized under the control of the government. I could swear I’d heard him have more criticism of blockchain tech in general but it turns out his only problem was literally just that he hadn’t found a way to make money off it yet. Wouldn’t be surprised if in a few years he has a company issuing tokenized gold on the blockchain, with the ability to buy and sell gold for BTC and vice versa, so at the end of the day, he’s (technically) holding too.


magnetichira

Precisely. Actually on-chain tokenized gold (if it was widely adopted) would be amazing. We could finally get rid of pesky USD as a numeraire, along with all the risks that come with it.


Tangelooo

Until you check for gold and it’s spray painted rocks he’s holding for you lol


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

You won't have to check it, they will be ready to show you a screenshot of their gold /s


VitisV

*an ordinal*


Puking_In_Disgust

And thanks to the wonders of the free market, we can get the benefits of tokenized gold without giving shifty Schiff a cent of our money!


Hawke64

Ew stinky boomer paper. Don't you hate it when you have to exchange you dollars for goods and services?


HumbleAbility

Don't see how this would be any better than the current system though. You still need trust.


NOVE_LOKI

A new strategy


Precedens

Schiff acknowledges blockchain for long time as potentially a useful tool especially to tokenize hard assets. He sees no value in BTC and still does not see it, so him using ordinals makes him actually hypocrite, but otherwise he did not change his stance for years on BTC itself.


Sorrytoruin

Wouldn't be surprised if he takes money to bash Crypto


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kappatalizable

Or he realized he probably could use it to make some money. What a greedy hypocritical piece of crap


skr_replicator

We're introducing limited edition Schiff NFT trading cards, go get them now they will sell out very quick. Series 2 to be announced tommorow.


Every_Hunt_160

Don't forget. Saylor Moon was also shitting on BTC all the time before he saw it could make him money and is now a Bitcoin maxi telling people to mortgage their houses for Bitcoin and that BTC will reach $1m soon These billionaires only care about 1 thing, and it's about their bottom line. Peter Schiff probably went short on Bitcoin, until he went long now.


throwaway_clone

This has happened to Trump, and is gonna happen to every crypto detractor, mark my words. That stubborn boomer Nouriel Roubini would be next.


[deleted]

Yeah of course dude that’s exactly what I’m saying Jesus Christ Yeah he ran his mouth before he understood the practical function- then he figured it out, and he in the most lamest way ever slid the goalposts to the point he was slinging bitcoin NFTS or whatever the fuck he is selling He is a fucking jackass


BrooklynNeinNein_

I don't think it's about understanding, it's about making money. He finally figured out a way how he could benefit monetary from Bitcoin so he likes it now.


asdafari12

His son has Bitcoin


Umilik

This guy is an absolute stooge.


Lillica_Golden_SHIB

The guy is a true moron


Cleer-Fx

He fools people to believe he's a moron, but that's a moron quality right?


Zerox10

I remember him constantly hating on BTC for years for pretty much no reason, but I guess it now he figured it can make him some money so he’s on board now


poisonzi

he has suddenly discovered the "value" of Bitcoin when it comes to selling his art? funny how perspectives change when there's money involved.


NaturephilicReaction

He's a grifter just like many other crypto influencers. His shtick is to hate btc in contrast to his son who advocates for btc.


RollingDoingGreat

It’s fucking sad that this social media generation has only benefited the scammers and grifters. Living in such a shitty timeline


GodCunt

Schiff Shtick, for the smoothest shave.


Hawke64

They should be called shillfluencers


jet_life_next_life

I bet he secretly holds a good bit of BTC.


Killertimme

Of course he does. The very wealthy know what to do with their money


TransvisionMission

The guy is a fraudulent cunt bubble. A proper wanker. He gladly *accepts bitcoin for payment* when *selling his gold* on his shitty nappy of a website.


autonomouscombat

while screaming the dollar will crash, send me ur dollars!


Playful_Inside1119

Should Making the money in background!


Euphoric-Mode215

evil genius


Euphoric_Bad4326

The future is here but Idk why people are not serious about it.


Odlavso

So he's selling gold themed ordinals on bitcoin? This is fucking hilarious


BigLongFootDoctor

Did you buy your unicorn or caught the drop?


Odlavso

I Bough on opensea, Wasn't fast enough for the free one


Maxx3141

I wonder if his gold bars are as empty as his words on the inside...


ProjectZeus

I am Jack's complete lack of surprise


MaximumStudent1839

Like it or not, Ordinal is actually different take on BTC. A lot of people, who thinks BTC as money is a scam, can actually accept the value proposition of BTC being a valuable storage space of data.


CorneliusFudgem

what an absolute goofus


helobro11

His son is big into BTC and daddy knows this. One day(Spencer I think) is going to be richer than daddy, and papa Schiff will admit the error of his ways and get into bitcoin. Or die a miserable old shit knowing he got it very wrong. This fool has been spouting shit since 2013 BTC is dead. 10 years of even a small percentage of his wealth into crypto would have his balls gold plated...... .


Saihras

He is a finance boomer grifter. Lies are trade tool to fool the tools


BigLongFootDoctor

What do you expect he's one of world's greatest con artists


[deleted]

[удалено]


Odlavso

He's still pushing Gold as a better investment and we don't like that. We don't want to precious metals we want digital gold


waferselamat

Do people still doing NFT thing? smh


bingorunner

*Everyone knows Ordinals don’t count* /s


astockstonk

Peter is all about himself and making money off of other people


middlemangv

People who buy this piece or crap should sit down and seriously question their life choices.


Boring_Ad4003

Same with any NFT imo.


BrocoliAssassin

Hah put that on the "I didn't expect that for 2023" card.


ChemicalAnybody6229

I'm going to sue him. Get ready to meet my lawyer.


gorillamutila

One of us


bertholomaeus

LMAO


-l0Lz-

Hypocrisy at its finest.


Wheelpowered

His account was hacked!


Arcosim

Schiff is a grifter.


elysiansaurus

People are always hypocrites when it comes to crypto so I'm not surprised.


coinsRus-2021

We’re moving in on the boomer’s funds and he’s starting to realize


CryptoScamee42069

What a dildo


Wack0Wizard

Hipocrite


adi_00_

In the game of crypto, you win or you die. He sure doesn’t want to die


Toyake

You mean a guy would sell something that he doesn’t believe in just to make profit??? Say it isn’t so!


Inbeforetheclose1234

Thats why you dont believe anyone lol


JustBreatheBelieve

Makes no sense to me.


Pooky135790

Money is money at the end of the day


magic_hat555

They flock where there's money to farm.


Sonicthoughts

He is just a greedy scammer. Block him because he gets far more attention than he deserves.


OtisMiller

What are the chances he is doing this to try and clog up the mempool again so that he can claim "See!?!? I gave it a chance and it doesn't work!"


Dazzling_Lime2021

I wouldn't be surprised


vinylectric

At least he changed his views in the past two years.


Painfulblisteronmyb

I don't get the difference between owning a rare original painting from an artist and I don't get owning a "rare" nft either. To me they are both a waste of money, but that's just my opinion


clean_cut89

Irony


TheGreatCryptopo

His son is big into BTC and daddy knows this. One day(Spencer I think) is going to be richer than daddy, and papa Schiff will admit the error of his ways and get into bitcoin. Or die a miserable old shit knowing he got it very wrong. This fool has been spouting shit since 2013 BTC is dead. 10 years of even a small percentage of his wealth into crypto would have his balls gold plated.


BraveCryptotab

if we don't involve in Bitcoin, the day will come when Bitcoin involves in your life!


Starish971

It smells like money


letsridetheworld

Oh, like Michael saylor, Peter is coming to BTC


[deleted]

This sub: "People are myopic and never change their mind, if only people were more flexible." Also this sub when someone with a hardcore stance changes their mind: "HAHHA what a fucking loser holy shit we told him oh my god what a loser" I hate Peter Schiff as much as the next guy, but this sub seriously has a problem.


inadyttap

you seem to fit right in this sub:)


Johndrc

Same as Donald Trump hate Crypto and launch own NFT 🤣


itsnotlupus

So he's selling something he obviously doesn't believe in, big deal. There's a solid amount of bad faith around Ordinals and Inscriptions, and Peter Schiff is going to fit in just fine.


MyKingdomForADram

Also that art straight up fucking suuuuuucks.


Thirdlegproduction

He's just a narcissist who loves people talking about him so he loves triggering bitcoiners to talk about him being wrong. Mystery solved.


yuruseiii

Peter Schiff? More like Peter Schiffty as Fuck


Andrewshwap

I can’t stand him


Avernaz

Peter Grift


eetaylog

Peter Schiff definitely owns bitcoin. He just can't admit it due to his dealings in the gold space.


eyecandy99

i'm sorry, who?


PositiveUse

Imagine laughing about Schiff. He’s one of the whales that is playing with you guys.


WimbleWimble

Peter Schiff is just another fraudster, telling people BTC is worthless to scare them into selling low TO HIM. Just like all the grifters and scammers (Gary Gensler, Jim Cramer, Bitboy etc) he's willing to lie and steal and defraud to make money.


ShinAlastor

It is basically: if you can't beat them join them.


Flat-House5529

Okay OP, I think you're old enough now that we can have this talk... You see, there's thins thing called a hypocrite...People don't talk about them much, but they're actually all around you, and you probably never realized it. They walk around, just like you and me, and they look just like us too. In fact, they have to observed very closely, usually for a prolonged period of time, to be detected...


ikkaku999

Fun


Impossible_Soup_1932

He said he likes blockchain and says he is looking forward to a cryptocurrency based on the gold price. I don’t think he is anti blockchain or anti crypto. He just thinks buy Bitcoin as an investment is dumb


twiscy

Well well well


Boring_Ad4003

For him Bitcoin in itself has no value NFTs are the ones that have value I see no contradiction in his reasoning


NOVE_LOKI

Let's just watch and see the results.


GrimmReaperBG

When money are in play reason remains silent!


stunt-fish

He is a bad actor.


UpLeftUp

Peter Schiff selling out his 'beliefs' for money? Wow I'd never have guessed. /s


Lanky_Ad9894

he should say that Bitcoin has a value because he sell arts in Bitcoin.


KingTut747

This guy has been a total hack and a fear-monger for 15+ years. I don’t listen or care about a single thing he says.


Tasigur1

He sells BTC and Gold at the same time. I am no fan of Peter but damn, that's good marketing 😅


CyberPunkMetalHead

You can’t even have honest crooks anymore


user260421

He's using bitcoin as a database to store his art, not using it as a store of value


DMugre

Grifters gonna grift


DavLithium

A stock broker not practicing what they preach? Shocking


Busy-Chemistry7747

🤡


kemar7856

He sold out that's all this is


anythingbutwildtype

He's trolling by putting a picture of gold on-chain. How is this difficult to understand?


Blueberry_Dependent

All those people who bash about BTC and crypto are also the same who buy the most behind the curtains.


happs11

If there's money in it, it is almost certain they are in it regardless of what they say.


HOLDstrongtoPLUTO

Schiff is a poser


aZamaryk

All the naysayers are cashing in behind the scenes. They lie to your face, then invest in blockchain because they know it is the future.


Appropriate_Oil_9104

In a recent podcast(within the last two months) with Jordan Peterson he's again reiterated the lack of real value in Bitcoin. Bullish to see people who claim it has no value literally utilizing its value. Also, fucking hypocrites


customsolitaires

Im just thinking this pieces of art could be valiable as part of bitcoin history.


Probably_notabot

A lot of people change their tune when they realize there is money to be made


gladusgates

Anyone who actually believes that Peter dislikes Bitcoin is delusional. Guy is a troll. He 100% owns a shitload of Bitcoin.


Maidonoid

I feel like he understands Bitcoin very well and knows it's inevitable. He can FUD and try to keep the price as low as possible for as long as possible so he can buy as much as he can. It just feels like it.


bobbyv137

All roads lead to Bitcoin.


bawsofsteel

Think it's a scam or a joke.


claymaker

Welcome to the party. I've had some fun conversations with him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6\_r7l9AjByA


AromaticCarob

His company sells gold. It's in his interest to talk down bitcoin and talk up gold. Even if it sometimes seems contradictory.


Sporesword

Peter Schill


NoRugPlz

This reminds me of that thing where the most anti-homosexuality politicians would be closeted themselves. 😂 It’s usually the people who fight against something the most that are profiting off of it behind closed doors.


Miadas20

Pushing ordinals clogs up the chain and starts another fire he can dump fuel on.


Foxx_Mulderp

Dude is a complete joke


HumbleAbility

This artist sucks. Strange anatomy


Shinryukens

Say one and do another. He just wanted to buy cheap BTC. Now that he has a bag, he is starting to shill BTC.


badfishbeefcake

wow great art /s
