Economist Peter Schiff has issued a warning that Bitcoin's price trajectory may soon diverge from silver, which surged 140% in 2025. Schiff suggests that macroeconomic pressures, including a weakening U.S. dollar and rising national debt, could lead investors to favor precious metals over cryptocurrencies. He argues that Bitcoin may not act as a safe haven during financial instability, contrasting with the strong performance of gold and silver. Schiff's comments follow a year where the U.S. Dollar Index fell over 10%, its worst performance in nearly a decade, and the national debt exceeded $38 trillion. He believes these fiscal strains indicate a growing divergence between Bitcoin and precious metals, with the latter poised to benefit from eroding trust in fiat currencies.
