I'm starting to believe that Peter Schiff might be a Bitcoin HODLer himself even though he likes to troll the community in X. If you read the post's replies from the plebs like us, they ARE laughable which probably keeps him entertained.

But what would be truly funny is if he actually own more Bitcoin than most of the plebs, including me, of BitcoinTalk.

Ross Ulbricht has been condemned by many people in the community because he was marked as a "criminal", but what Ross Ulbricht also was, was a PIONEER BUILDER for how and what Bitcoin actually is in essence.


He's wrong but he probably makes those posts knowing that he's wrong. He merely wants to make everyone mad for his entertainment.

You know what.  In a world where CRITICal thinking seems to be a priority, having a critic at a Bitcoin conference is not a bad idea at all.  I much rather see two opposite sides than only people who make Bitcoin seem like the revival of Jesus.

I know Schiff has been an avid critic of Bitcoin, sometimes a silly one even.  But sometimes he does have good points to make and at the end of the day, the goal of our community should in my opinion be finding ways to get EVERYBODY aboard rather than spit on all the critics and lock ourselves in our own community.

It is hard for a lot of people to acknowledge there are cons to Bitcoin too.  Rather than throwing back a 'but so is Gold X, Y and Z!', things would go so much smoother if we all tried to find a way for all of us to be part of this thing and be happy with what it can bring us.  Schiff is old after all, he is a gold head too, but what if he switches sides and finally sees the spark in Bitcoin after all these years?  I would be happy.

And even if Schiff is there to promote Gold against Bitcoin and all, I do not mind if people invest in other assets too.  No basket should hold all eggs.  I rather hear of people owning Gold and Bitcoin than all sorts of Shitcoins and Fiat.  I am an avid Bitcoin supporter, but realistically it is a crazy thing to invest in Bitcoin ONLY, particularly considering the highly varying price and sometimes horribly bearish market.

Also, people are hypocrites.  Was Michael Saylor not a controversial figure in the Bitcoin community until he switched sides and joined our boat?  Why would Schiff be different?

 

When will the conference be, and will there be an actual livestream?

I'm sure Peter Schiff was merely joking in that X post. But for the sake of the ensuing of hilarity in that conference, I would truly want to watch it LIVE, and I do hope he will say it. Haha.


Do you actually believe he'll say it? He probably won't that stupid to do it, no?

Wow, that's crazy. I wonder who it was? Maybe Peter Schiff? But good for Ross, he did give a pretty good speech.
