Peter Schiff, a well-known financial expert and implacable Bitcoin critic, got to know digital gold better thanks to a small gift from the co-founder of crypto fund Morgan Creek Digital Anthony Pompiano.
The conversation ensued on Twitter. At first, Pompiano had mentioned Schiff, noting that he possesses some bitcoins.
I own about $ 100 worth. It was a gift.

After that, Pompiano gave Euro 100 Capital head another $ 100 in cryptocurrency, asking the address of his Bitcoin wallet. Shif in reply sent a set of letters and numbers of unknown origin.
What the hell is this? Click receive on your wallet old man.
– Rob D- #Litecoin please stay above $ 100 (@BoilingPointLTC) 5 pages 2019 p.
“What the hell is this? Click "get" in your wallet, old man, " – Schiff suggested in the comments.
User Jon B wrote that this is not the address.
“What is it then? I am new to this, ”the financial expert wrote back.
However, a supporter of gold subsequently got to his Bitcoin address and at the same time checked the balance. It turned out that the wallet is only $ 80.
I just checked it to get the address. I actually only have about 80 bucks worth. But I also have a small amount of bitcoin cash and ether.

Pompiano's kept his promise by sending bitcoins worth $ 100. He also warned Schiff that a few more crypto-enthusiasts would send him to the BTC.
Just paste the address here.
Bitcoiners will send you some Bitcoin. You need to upgrade the solution from gold to bitcoin!
You're already a bitcoiner and haven't even realized it yet 🙂
– Pomp ? (@APompliano) 5 linden 2019 p.
“You are already Bitcoiner, although you haven’t realized this yet :)”
Schiff thanked Pompiano, noting that he now has $ 130 and will have to become a hodler.
Thanks. So far I've received about $ 130 dollars worth of bitcoin. I guess I’m going to go down with the ship.

Many users have left comments on this thread. So, @PsychedelicBart expressed the opinion that you should not send bitcoins to Schiff, who will certainly convert them back to Fiat.
Why are people sending him BTC? This guy will convert it back to fiat!

There were also ardent defenders of "traditional values":
Don't give in Peter. You're better than this

“Do not give in to this temptation, Peter. You are above it. ”
