 Show me the incentive and I’ll show you the outcome.

When you consider Schiffy’s incentives it becomes clear why he has BDS - he wants gold to pump for his heavy bags and is too committed to the pot to change now. 

He’s literally cost himself Billions (dude had a fucking bank, he had PLENTY of cash) and his ego will not allow him to accept he was wrong.

 Even if Bitcoin were to reach astronomical valuations or become more widely used for everyday transactions, Schiff has stated that he would still not consider himself wrong. This stubborn stance has raised questions about his motivations and whether his criticism is based on sound financial analysis or personal biases.

Schiff's appearances on shows and interviews often involve shouting over others, which can detract from the quality of the discussion. In a recent discussion, young nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqngza3a  called him out asking "who is the adult in the room?" Some argue that his disruptive behavior should disqualify him from being given a serious platform.
