Peter Schiff, analyst and gold advocate, has issued a stark warning, claiming that the next four years will be much worse for Bitcoin. In his most recent Bitcoin prediction, the analyst asserts that the “digital gold” thesis has failed, noting that despite its nominal price, Bitcoin has lost 46% of its purchasing power against physical gold since its 2021 highs.
With gold closing in on $4,500 and Bitcoin struggling to hold $87K, Bitcoin is now down 46% priced in gold from its Nov. 2021 high. $MSTR started buying Bitcoin a year earlier. As bad as the past four years have been for Bitcoin priced in gold, the next four will be much worse.

Schiff maintains that the current environment at the end of 2025 proves that Bitcoin is a risk asset rather than a safe haven. He states that the market is experiencing a “flight to safety,” where capital rotates toward tangible assets, leaving digital assets lagging. Using his “Greater Fool Theory” argument, Schiff describes the ecosystem as a scheme where new buyers end up funding the profits of earlier ones.
It remains to be seen whether institutional capital flows into ETFs can reverse this trend or if the exhaustion of bullish narratives is confirmed. Investors should pay close attention to gold’s strength relative to crypto volatility, as, according to Schiff, Wall Street’s “breath” has already run out without achieving new sustainable highs.
