Peter Schiff: Buying Bitcoin Is Like Buying Air +Video

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


By Peter Schiff  /  GoldSeek

On Sesame Street they teach the basics: how to count, how to spell, and how to make good decisions. Through a slight alteration of a classic 3 minute bit with Ernie (Burt’s easy going roommate), well known economist Peter Schiff teaches a valuable lesson about the perils of slick salesmanship and trading away money for nothing. In the original sketch, Ernie is scammed into buying air in a bottle by Lefty, the neighborhood con-puppet. Peter re-released the clip with one important change – he substitutes the word “air” for “bitcoin.” The result is a hilarious and pot-stirring perspective that’s sure to get people talking and who knows, maybe even thinking. Bitcoin enthusiasts will object that air and bitcoin are fundamentally different. Try explaining that to Ernie.

Best Selling author Peter Schiff is the Chief Economist and Global Strategist of Euro Pacific Capital. His podcasts are available on The Peter Schiff Channel onYouTube.

      Bitcoin is a direct threat to Schiff’s gold money business. With Schiff’s gold money, you buy gold from him and let him hold it for you. If/when a collapse happens he’ll get to keep your gold. Sound like a win to me… :roll:

      Bitcoin has wild swings, because the jew bankers are manipulating it like they are with precious metals.

        You buy Bitcoin, what do you have. Some people paid $19000 per coin, half of that disappeared. It’s worth round about $8000 now. That $8000 could go to zero in a heart beat then what do you have—-0. The safest hedge is precious metals. That gold or silver coin will always be in your pocket and it won’t go to zero value. Smart Bitcoin investors sold at $19000 and bought some precious metals.

          I am no expert, but I understand cryptos to be open source ledger software that allows you to be your own bank. Air is electronic fiat. Adoption is on the rise and I seriously doubt the price will fall to zero. There is a need for this software.

          I have nothing against metal. I own metal and crypto.

      Just buy your own gold if you have the money and hide it away CTrent moron

        Yep, I buy my own precious metal and take immediate position of it. I hide it in my cats litter box.
