Comparison of Bitcoin and Precious Metals
Schiff highlighted the surge in prices of gold and silver, which have reached levels not seen since 2012. Gold surpassed the $3,400 mark, while silver is trading near $36. He added that, in the current situation, cryptocurrencies are showing weakness compared to precious metals.
