Peter Schiff Takes A Jab At Investors For Choosing Bitcoin ETF Over Gold ETF, Says They 'Bet On The Wrong Horse'
Peter Schiff Takes A Jab At Investors For Choosing Bitcoin ETF Over Gold ETF, Says They 'Bet On The Wrong Horse'
Peter Schiff, a renowned economist and a fierce Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) skeptic, highlighted the underperformance of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track the cryptocurrency's price against those of gold.
著名经济学家、比特币(加密货币: BTC)的钢铁派彼得·希福强调了与黄金价格相比，追踪比特币价格的交易所交易基金(ETF)的表现不佳。
What Happened: In an X post on Thursday, Schiff pointed out that despite substantial inflows, the new Bitcoin ETFs have gained less than 17% since their launch in January. In contrast, he pointed out how the largest gold ETF, SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE:GLD), has risen 24% despite massive outflows.
发生了什么: 周四在一篇对于X的发帖中，希福指出，尽管流入资金相当可观，新推出的比特币ETF自1月份推出以来仅增长了不到17%。相比之下，他指出，尽管大量资金外流，最大的黄金ETF，spdr金etf (NYSE:GLD)已经上涨了24%。
Schiff then took a jibe at investors' strategy, saying, "It's clear that despite all the hype, ETF investors bet on the wrong horse."
接着，希福嘲笑投资者的策略，他说:"很明显，尽管一片热炒，ETF投资者押错赛马"。
But how far were these claims correct?
但是这些说法有多正确呢？
iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (NASDAQ:IBIT), currently the world's largest Bitcoin fund, has grown 19.6% since launch, while the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BATS:ARKB) has spiked 19.74%. Similarly, the Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (BATS:FBTC) was up 19.84% since the Jan. 10 listing.
iShares比特币信托ETF (NASDAQ:IBIT)，目前是全球最大的比特币基金，自推出以来涨幅为19.6%，而ARk 21Shares比特币ETF (BATS:ARKB)的涨幅为19.74%。同样，Fidelity聪明起源比特币基金 (BATS:FBTC)自1月10日上市以来上涨了19.84%。
His claim of the SPDR Gold Trust gaining 24% since the Bitcoin ETFs, however, was correct.
他关于spdr金etf相较于比特币ETF的24%的涨幅的说法是正确的。
Since they first launched in January of this year, despite massive inflows, the new #Bitcoin ETFs are up less than 17%. In contrast, $GLD, the largest #gold ETF, despite massive outflows, is up over 24%. It's clear that despite all the hype, ETF investors bet on the wrong horse.

自今年1月首次推出以来，尽管有大量资金流入，新的#比特币ETF涨幅不足17%。相比之下，尽管有大量资金外流，$GLD，最大的#黄金ETF涨幅超过24%。很明显，尽管一片热炒，ETF投资者押错赛马。

Even then, cryptocurrency enthusiasts countered Schiff's argument. One X user, Tiger Trades, said, "So you are comparing 17% vs. 24%? They seem very correlated considering from January."
即使如此，数字货币爱好者对舒华夫的论据进行了反驳。一位X用户，Tiger Trades，说：“你在比较17%和24%？考虑到情况从一月份开始看，它们似乎非常相关。”
Why It Matters: The latest observation aligned with Schiff's previous remarks on the performance divergence between Bitcoin and gold over the past six months. He has consistently highlighted Bitcoin's underwhelming performance against gold, suggesting a shift in momentum.
为什么这很重要：最新的观察结果与舒华夫之前关于比特币和黄金在过去六个月中表现差异的言论相一致。他一直强调比特币对黄金表现不佳，暗示了势头的转变。
It should be remembered that Schiff is known for coming up with small timeframe windows as per his liking to highlight Bitcoin's weaknesses and exaggerate the performance of assets he supports, most notably gold.
应该记住，舒华夫以他喜欢的小时间窗口为特色，突出比特币的弱点，夸大他支持的资产的表现，其中最引人注目的是黄金。
Schiff, a longtime skeptic, previously stated that he is 'open-minded' but has yet to find a sufficient justification to shift his view on Bitcoin.
舒华夫是一位长期的怀疑者，他曾经表示他是“心开放的”，但尚未找到足够的理由改变对比特币的看法。
Price Action: At the time of writing, Bitcoin was exchanging hands at $56,743.41, down 1.50% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
价格走势：根据Benzinga Pro的数据，截至撰写本文时，比特币的交易价为$56,743.41，过去24小时下跌了1.50%。
