Amid Bitcoin Crash, Peter Schiff Forecasts Prolonged Bear Market: 'Don't Say I Didn't Warn You HODLers'
Renowned economist and Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) critic, Peter Schiff, has expressed a bearish outlook for the digital asset as it witnessed one of the worst crashes of the year.
著名经济学家和比特币（CRYPTO: BTC）批评者彼得·舒菲表示看淡数字货币，因为它目睹了本年度最严重的崩盘之一。
What Happened: In an X post past midnight, Schiff warned that the cryptocurrency's bear market is far from over and predicted further downsides for the world's largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin.
发帖过半夜后，舒菲警告称，这种加密货币的熊市还远未结束，预测全球最大的数字货币比特币将面临进一步的下跌。
Schiff's comments were directed towards HODLers of the coin who believe in the long-term value potential of the asset class.
舒菲的评论针对的是这种货币的HODLer，后者相信这种资产类别的长期价值潜力。
#Bitcoin just traded as low as $53,550. That's a 27.5% drop from its record high priced in U.S. dollars and a 38.5% drop priced in #gold. This bear market is a long way from over. Don't say I didn't warn you #HODLers.

#比特币最近的交易价降至53550美元。这是比特币创纪录的高价美元价格下跌27.5％，黄金价格下跌38.5％。这个熊市还有很长的路要走。不要说我没有警告你“hodlers”。

Bitcoin plunged to the $54,000 zone for the first time since late February, due to cumulative fears of an impending sale of coins by cryptocurrency exchange Mt.Gox as well as the German and the U.S. governments.
由于Mt.Gox加密货币交易所的即将出售，德国和美国政府的累积担忧，比特币跌至54000美元区间，为自2月底以来首次下跌。
Schiff further predicted that over 70% of Bitcoin ETF buyers would be losing money at a Bitcoin price of $54K. He expects the real selling to start when Bitcoin trades below $38K, at which point all Bitcoin ETF buyers would be incurring losses.
舒菲进一步预测，在比特币价格达到54,000美元时，超过70%的比特币ETF买家将会亏钱。他预计，当比特币交易在3.8万美元以下时，真正的抛售将开始，此时所有比特币ETF买家都将遭受损失。
Why It Matters: Schiff's bearish forecast aligns with his previous warnings about Bitcoin's future performance. Last month, Schiff warned that Bitcoin investors who switched from gold ETFs to Bitcoin ETFs at the end of Q1 were now 20% worse off, and he anticipated the situation to worsen.
舒菲的看淡预测与他之前对比特币未来表现的警告相一致。上个月，舒菲警告称，将在第一季度末从黄金ETF转换到比特币ETF的比特币投资者现在亏损了20%，他预计情况将进一步恶化。
He has previously strongly criticized Bitcoin spot ETFs, questioning their impact on the currency's price movement. On one occasion, he questioned why Bitcoin's price had been trading sideways for over three months despite net buying from 11 spot ETFs.
他曾经强烈批评比特币现货ETF，质疑它们对货币价格走势的影响。在某个场合，他质疑为什么比特币的价格已经横盘了三个多月，尽管11个现货ETF的净买入。
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $54,446.92, sinking 7.6% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
截至撰写本文时，据Benzinga Pro的数据，比特币最新价格为54,446.92美元，过去24小时下跌了7.6%。
