Hate to say it, but everyone’s favorite (or at least favorite) bitcoin bear Peter Schiff is winning the debate. Consider our previous article covering Peter Schiff which you can read Here, Schiff used technical analysis in mid-August to argue that the rally that pushed bitcoin to the $24,000 level was fake.
Fair warning: Schiff was on the sidelines of the business when pitted against hodlers who bought bitcoin years ago. But with 40% (more likely now) of bitcoin investors under the waterThis article focuses on short term price action.
whatever the bitcoin catalysts are but

All that said, Schiff WS is raking in the big time – at least for those with very near-term time frames.

Fidelity, Citadel and Charles Schwab also announced the launch of a bitcoin and cryptocurrency exchange EDX Markets (EDXM).
The press release cited EDXM’s board of directors, who said that the cryptocurrency market is “a $1 trillion global asset class with over 300 million participants and millions more in demand.”

But what about El Salvador?
El Salvador’s experiment with bitcoin as a legal tender has passed the one-year mark and to say that it has been successful is a stretch of truth. part of the original pitch From President Nayb Bukele to the global financial community, “Invest here and make all the money you want.”

Lack of input from people, and lack of adequate education to tell people how to use it and what it can be beneficial for, have hurt the whole project so far.
