Peter Schiff asserts that the bond market did not fracture just recently, but rather in 2020, with every event afterward representing a gradual unraveling.
Peter Schiff contends that the bond market did not fracture recently, noting it broke back in 2020, and that all subsequent developments represent a prolonged unravelling. Throughout this dialogue with Grace Remington and Sean Hagan, he links climbing Treasury yields, the Federal Reserve’s anticipated rate move, the declining buying power of the greenback, and the central bank’s frantic accumulation of gold. He maintains that an equity market drop triggered by elevated interest rates would prove severely negative for Bitcoin and the wider cryptocurrency sector, and that political influence in Washington has already shifted to oppose it. The discussion concludes with Schiff and the presenters debating directly whether Bitcoin possesses any underlying backing.
