Crypto Industry News:

Economist, financial commentator and gold supporter Peter Schiff has once again "bit" Bitcoin in a tweet, basically calling him a fiat currency, such as the US dollar, thus supporting the Fed's position.

"The Fed is right about Bitcoin. It categorizes it according to fiat, as opposed to gold, which has real value. It sees nothing new in Bitcoin, only in the way it is exchanged. As you lose confidence in both traditional money and cryptocurrencies, savers will return to gold. " - he wrote on Twitter.

Liberty Street Economics, a blog run by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, said Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies are simply cash in another form, not "a new type of money," according to the cryptographic industry. The article indicates the difference between money itself and the way people make transactions or use them.

"The ability to make electronic exchanges without a trusted entity - a characteristic of Bitcoin - is completely new. Bitcoin is not a new class of money, it is a new type of exchange mechanism, and this type of mechanism can support various forms of money as well as other types of assets." - we read in the entry.

After many comments on the subject, Peter Schiff became known in the cryptographic space as someone who takes up the topic every day, in his opinion the superiority of gold over cryptography. In April 2020, the economist also predicted a sharp rise in gold prices and a sharp decline in the value of Bitcoins in the coming years. In March, he also called "fools" investing in Bitcoins.
