Peter Schiff’s Dire Warning: Which US Economic Asset Cracks First in 2025’s Financial Storm?
Gold bug turned crypto skeptic Peter Schiff just threw another grenade into the financial debate. He's not predicting a gentle correction—he's forecasting which pillar of the US economy shatters first.
The Ticking Time Bombs
Forget soft landings. The conversation has shifted from 'if' to 'which.' Market veterans are eyeing traditional safe havens with newfound suspicion, watching for the first domino to fall under the weight of debt, inflation, and policy missteps. It's a high-stakes game of financial Jenga.
A Cynical Nod to Wall Street
Meanwhile, the usual suspects on Wall Street are busy selling shovels—and insurance on the shovels—ahead of the predicted avalanche. It's the oldest play in the book: profit from both the fear and the cleanup.
The real question isn't about a single asset's failure. It's about what rises from the ashes. When trust in one system erodes, capital doesn't vanish—it migrates. And in our digital age, it moves at the speed of light.
Peter Schiff Asset Theory

Peter Schiff has once again taken the markets by storm, adding in his insights about the US economic future. In his latest tweet, Schiff shared his view about us being embroiled in an intense economic crisis. He detailed how the rise of gold and silver is hinting at a possible economic explosion, “pulling the rug under the US dollar and Treasuries.” Furthermore, Schiff adds this development may further have a Ripple effect, sending consumer prices, bond yields, and unemployment rates soaring to new highs.
The U.S. economy is teetering on the brink of the biggest economic crisis of our lifetimes. Gold and silver prices skyrocketing to new highs will ultimately pull the rug out from under the U.S. dollar and Treasuries, sending consumer prices, bond yields, and unemployment soaring.

To simplify this further, the expert shared how Bitcoin holders have jumped “from a frying pan into the fire directly” by banking on a collapsible asset.
The first casualty of the gold and silver surge will likely be Bitcoin. Before a U.S. dollar crash, we will likely get a bitcoin crash. This will surprise Bitcoin HODLers, who bought Bitcoin to protect themselves from a dollar crash. They jumped from the frying pan into the fire.

Rajat Soni, a notable cryptocurrency expert, shared a compelling analysis on X, adding how BTC price drops have often paved the way for the asset to climb higher on the radar. Soni shared how Bitcoin has often collapsed to its worth before making a high jump. He later shared how he believes one day Bitcoin will crash from $1M to $500K, and that’s what everyone should be focusing on at the moment.
First Bitcoin crashed from $0.17 to $0.01
Then it crashed from $32 to $2
Then from $266 to $63
Then from $1,166 to $170
Then from $19,783 to $3,122
Then from $68,891 to $15,479
Then from $108,172 to $89,745
I bet one day it'll crash from $1M to $500k
