U.S. economist warns a Bitcoin crash to $75k ‘is in play’

1 min read

Economist and well-known cryptocurrency skeptic Peter Schiff has once again expressed a negative outlook on Bitcoin (BTC). 

In a social media post on Tuesday, August 26, Schiff warned that the “digital gold” could fall as low as $75,000.

The financial commentator further urged investors to exit positions now and re-enter at lower levels, arguing in the comments that “selling now and buying back lower beats just riding it all the way down.”

Bitcoin slips further

The warning comes as Bitcoin slipped below $109,000 on Monday, August 25, marking a 13% decline from its peak less than two weeks ago. 

Meanwhile, Michael Saylor’s Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) disclosed the purchase of 3,081 BTC, worth nearly $357 million, at an average price of $115,829, bringing its total holdings to about $69.6 billion. 

Schiff suggested that Bitcoin’s downturn could soon push prices “just below MSTR’s average cost,” as recent volatility was fueled by a 24,000 BTC whale sale that triggered large liquidations across the market. 

Macro factors also remain in play. As Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell remarked during his Jackson Hole speech, labor market risks briefly lifted BTC by 4%, though the momentum quickly faded.

‘One Battle After Another’ Hits Peak Popularity With 97% Rotten Tomatoes Score

‘One Battle After Another’ Hits Peak Popularity With 97% Rotten Tomatoes Score

The post ‘One Battle After Another’ Hits Peak Popularity With 97% Rotten Tomatoes Score appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. ‘One Battle After Another’ is already being tipped for Oscar success Warner Bros It tends to take time to build interest in movies, even ones which seem to be sure-fire successes. In the era of social media, many movie fans want to read reviews from their counterparts rather than mainstream outlets. As a result, all but the biggest franchises usually only gain traction once they have been released. There are however exceptions to this rule and one is on the verge of release. Called One Battle After Another, it stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a washed-up delusional revolutionary who lives off grid with his teenage daughter. When one of his old enemies resurfaces and his daughter is abducted, the movie turns into a game of cat and mouse with car chases aplenty as well as the involvement of militias and mysterious organizations. The plot has a hint of 80s action extravaganza Commando but is actually loosely based on a book written by American author Thomas Pynchon. The movie hits a timely note as Pynchon is famous for sending up nefarious quasi-government organisations in his novels and director Paul Thomas Anderson continues that theme on screen. It has been seen as a political commentary and DiCaprio was a natural fit. His role combines the paranoia he portrayed in Howard Hughes biopic The Aviator with the comedic chases from his crime comedy Catch Me If You Can. DiCaprio is supported by an equally heavyweight cast led by Benicio del Toro as his accomplice and Sean Penn as his nemesis. One Battle After Another premiered in Los Angeles on September 8 and was met with universal acclaim. It has a critics’ rating of 97% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes but doesn’t yet have a single score from audiences as the film won’t be released…
