As silver soars in 2025, crypto skeptic Peter Schiff celebrates Bitcoin's ongoing correction. With a significant price gap between the assets, Schiff urges an immediate capital rotation.
It’s a scenario that Bitcoin maximalists dreaded and Peter Schiff has been waiting for years to witness. In late November 2025, the figures temporarily vindicate the famous economist. In a series of fiery tweets published on November 28, Schiff presents a stark assessment: Bitcoin has become the inverse mirror image of silver.
The market data for November is unequivocal. While silver has embarked on a spectacular rally of 16.5%, Bitcoin has suffered a severe correction of 17.5%. Schiff doesn’t hesitate to highlight the violence of this movement, claiming that BTC is literally being “decimated” when valued in silver. For the investor, this inverse correlation isn’t an accident, but the harbinger of a deeper crash for the leading cryptocurrency.
The gray metal is now trading above $56, displaying an insolent year-to-date (YTD) performance of 95%. Conversely, Bitcoin, despite its promises as a store of value, shows a negative performance of 4% since the beginning of 2025. Schiff hammers home his advice with palpable urgency: “Sell your Bitcoin now and buy silver while you still can.”
The most concerning aspect of this analysis lies in the apparent ineffectiveness of institutional flows. Schiff points to a major dysfunction in BTC’s price mechanics: despite the media hype and continuous treasury purchases by entities like MicroStrategy ($MSTR) throughout 2025, the price cannot maintain its momentum.
This situation suggests liquidity saturation. If even massive buying pressure from pro-Bitcoin companies is no longer enough to counter selling pressure, the market could be witnessing large-scale distribution. Schiff ironically notes that gold and silver are performing without any comparable “hype,” carried solely by their monetary fundamentals, while Bitcoin struggles to attract new capital despite constant media visibility.
The argument centers on opportunity cost. According to Schiff’s calculations, an investor who pivoted from BTC to silver last February 14 would now have 70% more purchasing power. This divergence undermines the Bitcoin as “digital gold” narrative, at least on the 2025 timeframe.
The technical analysis at year’s end reveals a delicate configuration. Bitcoin appears trapped in a bearish structure that could extend into December and early 2026. The relative strength of silver, which is breaking decades-old resistance levels, contrasts sharply with BTC’s weak support levels.
However, caution is warranted against FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) generated by precious metals. While the current trend clearly favors commodities, the cryptocurrency market is known for its cyclical volatility. What Schiff describes as “game over” might, for on-chain analysts, resemble a final capitulation phase before a potential reversal.
Nevertheless, analyst DrProfits indicates that $70,000 is “only a matter of time,” which would extend the decline by more than 10% on BTC. Meanwhile, silver appears headed toward $70, as long as it doesn’t return to its range below $52.
