Peter Schiff Debunks ‘Wealth Creation’ Claims After Vance’s Bitcoin Speech

Peter Schiff criticized a Bitcoin Super Bowl ad, accusing it of false advertising for claiming Bitcoin is backed by energy. He argued Bitcoin neither stores nor can be redeemed for energy, urging FTC intervention. In response, Dan Victor, CFA, highlighted that Bitcoin relies on decentralized computing power, which requires energy. Schiff dismissed this as semantics, asserting Bitcoin resembles fiat currency, backed by faith rather than tangible assets like gold. This sparked renewed debate over Bitcoin’s intrinsic value, especially as mainstream promotions like Super Bowl ads amplify crypto’s reach.
