Popular Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff predicted on April 14 a potential slump in BTC’s price to $20K. He also warned that Microstrategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, could potentially lose an estimated $2.7 billion if the price crashes.
Peter Schiff disclosed his Bitcoin price prediction in an X post while stressing the importance of the asset’s $60K support level.
