Peter Schiff’s entry into bitcoin

Even before this hack, Peter Schiff had seemed to embrace the underlying technology of Bitcoin. The harsh Bitcoin critic had announced his NFT collection on Bitcoin Ordinals. The move surprised the crypto community. However, Schiff continues to maintain his claim that Bitcoin has no value. Replying to CZ’s tweet welcoming Peter to the Bitcoin community, the economist said, I haven’t converted. The Ordinals help add value to the art by making it easier to prove authenticity. The Ordinals themselves could have extra value if it turns out I’m wrong on Bitcoin.
