He reasserted his belief that Bitcoin could achieve a market cap of about $1 trillion in 2021—fueled by the sudden, dramatic rise of institutional interest seen this year.

    To Peter Schiff’s disgust, his son buys Bitcoin

    Schiff’s son holds some quite radical views on economy, but Twitter trusts the 18-year-old kid more than the famous gold bug

    In his Sept. 7 tweet, Schiff also started a poll asking Twitter: “Whose advice do you want to follow? A 57-year-old experienced investor/business owner who's been an investment professional for over 30 years or an 18-year-old college freshman who's never even had a job.”
