Peter Schiff argues that the recent selloff in gold and silver was a shakeout, not the end of the bull market, and says the pullback improves the setup for mining stocks. He is aggressively bearish on Bitcoin and MicroStrategy/Strategy, calling Bitcoin a failed store of value and a bubble that is now deflating. He also says tariffs are taxes that worsen affordability, the economy is weaker than the Trump administration claims, and those issues will hurt Republicans in the midterms.

Peter Schiff’s core message is that the precious-metals bull market is still intact despite a sharp pullback, while Bitcoin and Bitcoin-linked corporate structures are deteriorating. He says the recent drop in gold and silver was not random, but a strategic selloff that flushed out weak hands. In his view, the correction is now behind the market, which should help rebuild confidence, especially in mining stocks. He repeatedly stresses that he does not expect an immediate move to fresh highs, but does expect a slower, steadier advance from here. On gold and silver specifically, Schiff frames the pullback as constructive. He says silver at about $90 and gold around $5,000 may look expensive, but those levels are below the recent highs, so new buyers are not chasing the top. …
Tactically, Schiff thinks the metals pullback is a dip-buying opportunity, with miners likely to lead the next leg higher. The immediate risk is continued volatility, especially in silver and Bitcoin-linked names.
Over the next few months he expects gold, silver, and miners to trend higher as confidence in policy and the dollar erodes, while Bitcoin and Strategy keep underperforming. The view weakens if Bitcoin stabilizes materially or if the labor/inflation backdrop improves enough to restore faith in the administration narrative.
Structurally, Schiff is arguing for a regime where hard assets outperform speculative financial engineering and policy credibility becomes the key macro variable. He sees a long transition away from trust in fiat promises and toward gold-backed confidence, with crypto as a fading side-quest rather than a new monetary order.
