Gold advocate Peter Schiff has warned that Bitcoin could drop below $20,000, but only after first falling under $50,000. Schiff argued that investor complacency remains too high and that market conditions do not yet support a lasting price bottom. His comments came as Bitcoin traded near $66,000 following a sharp correction across the crypto market. The forecast matters because Schiff remains one of Bitcoin’s most prominent critics and his views often attract attention during market downturns. Investors will be watching whether Bitcoin stabilizes or extends its recent decline.
