Gold Bug vs. Bitcoin: Peter Schiff’s Epic Roast of Crypto Bros 😂

Oh, Peter Schiff. The man who’s been yelling about gold since before it was cool—or at least before everyone stopped paying attention to him. On Tuesday, the self-appointed king of shiny rocks took to X (formerly Twitter, formerly a place where people cared about his opinions) to flex on bitcoin like he just won an argument with his teenage nephew. 🏆💎

In a post, Schiff bragged about how his VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX)—yes, *the* GDX—is up a whopping 61.3% this year. Meanwhile, poor little bitcoin (BTC) is limping along at a measly 28.06% gain. Well, according to Yahoo Finance. Schiff rounded down to 27%, because why give crypto even that much credit? “I may not own any Bitcoin,” he wrote, clearly trying to sound humble while absolutely dripping with smugness, “but I have a lot more money in gold and silver mining stocks than many Bitcoin whales have in Bitcoin.” 🐳

And then came the mic drop heard ’round the financial world: “Bitcoin is up 27% so far in 2025, while the GDX is up 61%. Have fun staying poor, Bitcoiners!” Oh, Peter, you really know how to make friends. It’s almost like telling someone their car is ugly right after you show off your new Tesla. 🔧💨

But wait, there’s more! Just one day earlier, Schiff was out here playing market guru again, urging ether (ETH) investors to dump their holdings and buy bitcoin instead. Yes, THAT bitcoin—the same one he spent the next day dunking on harder than a middle school basketball coach. You’ve got to admire his consistency, though. If Schiff were a weatherman, he’d predict sunny skies every day until the apocalypse hit—and then blame the clouds for ruining his forecast. ☁️🌞

So here we are, folks: Peter Schiff, defender of gold, hater of crypto, and full-time internet troll. Will his predictions come true? Who knows. But if history has taught us anything, it’s that Schiff will still be out here shouting about gold long after we’ve all moved to Mars—and Elon Musk has started mining asteroids for precious metals. 🚀✨
