For decades, Wall Street insiders have secured the biggest IPO gains before the public ever gets a shot.
Now, one economist says everyday investors may have a rare window to position ahead of a potential $1.5 trillion SpaceX offering.
Peter Schiff is back at it again. He’s telling everyone to dump Bitcoin and pivot to gold and silver. It’s the same record he’s been playing for a decade, but this time his timing might lead investors into a trap they can’t escape.
Schiff declared,
“People should SELL their Bitcoin to BUY silver.”
There are always people who tell you to sell your Bitcoin. Or that Bitcoin is going to zero. This is when you need to stregnthen you’re conviction over this digital asset and handle the sideways price action.
Selling your Bitcoin for precious metals right now could be the worst financial move you make this year. Metals had a good year, and over time, metals usually correct. I know because I bought my first gold and silver coins during the Great Recession of 2008.
But here is why the math doesn’t favor you to pivot.
The 2026 Scorecard
Look at the numbers for 2026. While gold and silver had a massive January, they’ve hit a wall. Bitcoin is playing a different game.
Gold and Silver. Gold breached $5,000 earlier this year but has since retreated to the mid-$4,000 range. Silver saw a wild spike toward $100 but is currently struggling to hold the $75 level. These assets are reacting to inflation fears, but they are also getting crushed by rising interest rate expectations.
Bitcoin. After a rough start to the year, Bitcoin is stabilizing around $74,500. Even with the volatility, Bitcoin’s role as digital gold is being cemented by institutional adoption that precious metals simply don’t have.
The Iran Conflict Litmus Test
The real test happened when the US engaged with Iran earlier this month. When the blockade in the Strait of Hormuz began, we saw a clear divergence in how these assets behave under fire.
The Gold Trap. Gold initially spiked as a safe haven, but it didn't last. As the dollar strengthened and oil prices sent inflation expectations through the roof, gold actually dropped. Investors realized that a non-yielding asset like gold is a liability when yields are rising.
The Silver Slump. Silver has been even worse, dropping over 20% since the conflict escalated. It’s being treated more like an industrial commodity than a monetary hedge.
Bitcoin’s Resilience. Bitcoin took the initial geopolitical hit, which is standard for a risk-on asset, but the recovery was swift. More importantly, we are seeing Bitcoin used for actual settlement in the region to bypass traditional banking blockades. It’s proving its utility as a censorship-resistant medium of exchange while gold just sits in a vault.
The Schiff Delusion
Schiff continues to push a narrative that ignores a decade of price action. He recently doubled down on X, stating:
The Bottom Line
Bitcoin is the only asset that offers a fixed supply with high-speed portability. If you sell your Bitcoin now, you aren't just selling an investment. You’re selling your seat at the table of the new financial system. Don’t let the noise talk you out of the best-performing asset class of the last decade.
Stay the course. Focus on the long-term play.
