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.
著名經濟學家和比特幣（CRYPTO: BTC）批評者彼得·舒菲表示看淡數字貨幣，因爲它目睹了本年度最嚴重的崩盤之一。
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.
發帖過半夜後，舒菲警告稱，這種加密貨幣的熊市還遠未結束，預測全球最大的數字貨幣比特幣將面臨進一步的下跌。
Schiff's comments were directed towards HODLers of the coin who believe in the long-term value potential of the asset class.
舒菲的評論針對的是這種貨幣的HODLer，後者相信這種資產類別的長期價值潛力。
#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.

#比特幣最近的交易價降至53550美元。這是比特幣創紀錄的高價美元價格下跌27.5％，黃金價格下跌38.5％。這個熊市還有很長的路要走。不要說我沒有警告你“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.
由於Mt.Gox加密貨幣交易所的即將出售，德國和美國政府的累積擔憂，比特幣跌至54000美元區間，爲自2月底以來首次下跌。
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.
舒菲進一步預測，在比特幣價格達到54,000美元時，超過70%的比特幣ETF買家將會虧錢。他預計，當比特幣交易在3.8萬美元以下時，真正的拋售將開始，此時所有比特幣ETF買家都將遭受損失。
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.
舒菲的看淡預測與他之前對比特幣未來表現的警告相一致。上個月，舒菲警告稱，將在第一季度末從黃金ETF轉換到比特幣ETF的比特幣投資者現在虧損了20%，他預計情況將進一步惡化。
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.
他曾經強烈批評比特幣現貨ETF，質疑它們對貨幣價格走勢的影響。在某個場合，他質疑爲什麼比特幣的價格已經橫盤了三個多月，儘管11個現貨ETF的淨買入。
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.
截至撰寫本文時，據Benzinga Pro的數據，比特幣最新價格爲54,446.92美元，過去24小時下跌了7.6%。
