The post Gold Bug Peter Schiff Urges Traders to Buy His Ordinals Amid Bitcoin’s Surge appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

With Bitcoin surpassing all-time highs by the hour, even noted Bitcoin skeptic Peter Schiff is trying to get in on the action by selling his Ordinals collection. On Sunday, the financial commentator and radio host said on X (formerly Twitter) that the Peter Schiff Ordinals collection, also known as the Golden Triumph Ordinals Set, would go up for sale on Magic Eden. Bitcoin surged past $80,000 Sunday in the crypto-optimistic wake of Donald Trump’s election victory last week. It has since passed the $87,000 mark. Launched in 2023, the “Golden Triumph Ordinals Set” is a collection of 51 Ordinal inscriptions on the Bitcoin Blockchain. Similar to a non-fungible token (NFT), a Bitcoin Ordinal is a digital collectible on the Bitcoin blockchain. Each Ordinal is inscribed on an individual satoshi, the smallest denomination of a Bitcoin. Ordinals have included text, images, video clips, and even video games on the Bitcoin network. The current floor price for one of the Schiff NFTs is 0.1245 BTC, around $10,774 for each collectible, according to Magic Eden data. Despite having a low trading volume, the Schiff NFTs rose 149% last year with an original price of 0.05 BTC, around $1,885. “There’s 21 million Bitcoin but only 50 Golden Triumph ordinals. It’s clear which one is more valuable,” Schiff tweeted. “You can’t argue with math.” It’s unclear if Schiff is attempting to profit from Bitcoin mania. The gold bug did not immediately return a request for comment. Crypto Twitter reacted to Schiff’s tweet with a mix of surprise and skepticism. Peter, it’s very clear that your bearish sentiment about Bitcoin (which has been wrong) is a great engagement farming strategy. I have to give it to you. But it’s time for you to join us for real 🤗 — Jan | BIP-420🐱 (@nonfungible_jan) November 11, 2024…
