Bitcoin as collateral for a loan is a disastrous idea
The vocal Bitcoin (BTC) hater thinks that using Bitcoin as collateral for a loan is a disastrous idea. He added his views in a series of flaming tweets by saying, the loan based on BTC is a ‘disaster in the making’ and predicting it will result in huge losses.
Sounds like a disaster in the making. How do you accept Bitcoin as collateral for a loan? How do you get your money back if Bitcoin crashes before the loan is repaid?

Recently, Schiff move on Twitter saying trying to explain the concept of money to a BTC holder is just like ‘banging your head against the wall.’
Trying to explain the concept of money to a #Bitcoin hodler is like banging your head against a wall. These guys are about to learn a very expensive lesson in economics and gain a new appreciation for the age old saying "easy come, easy go."

The entrepreneur is an ardent hater of bitcoin criticize by stating the BTC enthusiasts are yet to learn a very expensive lesson in economics and must gain a naval appreciation via an old-age saying ‘easy come easy go.’
He also bashed on twitter a few days back by saying gold will outperform Bitcoin and the latter will crash back to earth.
Over the past several years Bitcoin hodlers poked fun at gold investors because #Bitcoin gained so much more than #gold. Over the next several years those roles will reverse, but not because gold rises more than Bitcoin, but because gold moons as Bitcoin crashes back to earth.

During a historical crash of Bitcoin, Schiff commented that Bitcoin only attracts speculators and nobody hopes to buy this volatile asset concluding Bitcoin will never become a safe-haven.
