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.
著名經濟學家、對比特幣（加密貨幣：BTC）持強烈懷疑態度的彼得·希夫強調了追蹤加密貨幣與黃金價格的交易所交易基金（ETF）表現不佳。
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.
發生了什麼：在週四的X帖子中，希夫指出，儘管有大量資金流入，但新的比特幣ETF自1月份推出以來漲幅不到17％。相比之下，他指出，儘管資金大量流出，最大的黃金ETF——SPDR黃金信託ETF（紐約證券交易所代碼：GLD）還是上漲了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."
希夫隨後嘲笑投資者的策略，他說：「很明顯，儘管大肆宣傳，但ETF投資者押錯了馬。」
But how far were these claims correct?
但是這些說法在多大程度上是正確的？
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.
目前全球最大的比特幣基金iShares比特幣信託ETF（納斯達克股票代碼：IBIT）自推出以來已上漲19.6％，而方舟21Shares比特幣ETF（BATS: ARKB）上漲了19.74％。同樣，自1月10日上市以來，富達Wise Origin比特幣基金（BATS: FBTC）上漲了19.84％。
His claim of the SPDR Gold Trust gaining 24% since the Bitcoin ETFs, however, was correct.
但是，自比特幣ETF問世以來，他聲稱SPDR黃金信託基金上漲了24％，這是正確的。
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月首次推出以來，儘管有大量資金流入，但新的 #Bitcoin ETF上漲了不到17％。相比之下，儘管資金大量流出，但最大的 #gold ETF美元GLD仍上漲了24％以上。很明顯，儘管大肆宣傳，但ETF投資者押錯了馬。

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."
即便如此，加密貨幣愛好者還是反駁了希夫的論點。一位名爲Tiger Trades的X用戶說：「那麼你比較的是17％和24％？從一月份開始，它們似乎非常相關。」
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.
爲何重要：最新的觀察結果與希夫先前關於過去六個月比特幣和黃金之間表現差異的言論一致。他一直強調比特幣兌黃金的表現不佳，這表明勢頭髮生了轉變。
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.
應該記住，希夫以提出較短的時間框架窗口而聞名，他喜歡突出比特幣的弱點並誇大他所支持的資產（尤其是黃金）的表現。
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.
長期持懷疑態度的希夫此前曾表示，他 「思想開放」，但尚未找到足夠的理由來改變對比特幣的看法。
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.
價格走勢：根據Benzinga Pro的數據，在撰寫本文時，比特幣的交易價格爲56,743.41美元，在過去24小時內下跌了1.50％。
