Well-known Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff has sparked controversy in the crypto community once more by replying to a tweet from Michael Saylor. Saylor wrote about how MicroStrategy's stock has performed well, praising the company's Bitcoin strategy for outperforming other top stocks in the S&P 500.

Schiff sarcastically responded with a similar comment, still maintaining his standard anti-Bitcoin stance. He chose not to purchase any Bitcoin for winning. This response started a discussion about his true motivations and whether he is interacting with pro-Bitcoin audiences by taking advantage of Bitcoin's fame.

Schiff clarified in response to a user who pointed out that his opposition to Bitcoin appears to be a ploy for media attention: "I don't own any. I would come out in favor of Bitcoin if my objective was engagement." In spite of what he says, it is clear that Schiff's ongoing criticisms of Bitcoin have generated a lot of interest from the cryptocurrency community.

He remains relevant in the conversation because well-known proponents of Bitcoin respond to his comments on a regular basis. Irrespective of his Bitcoin holdings, Schiff is undoubtedly reaping the rewards of his unconventional approach. In terms of Bitcoin's current status, it has recovered above $64,000, following a decline below $60,000 earlier this month.

A number of factors, such as institutional support and market sentiment, are probably linked to the price surge. Right now, traders are keeping an eye on the key resistance levels, which are located between $64,000 and $65,000 as Bitcoin trades within an ascending channel. Up until then, volatility is something to take into account, but breaking these levels might point to a more robust upward trend.

To put it briefly, Schiff is still using his opposition to Bitcoin to his advantage in order to stay relevant, even as the price of Bitcoin continues to rise. Both Bitcoin supporters and detractors are keeping a close eye on the gripping story that is being created by the continuous conflict between Schiff's criticisms and Bitcoin's determination.
