Gold Rush vs. Crypto Crush: China Laughs at Trump’s Bitcoin Dream!

Oh, the drama! The great economist Peter “Doom and Gloom” Schiff, with a mustache that could out-twirl a circus performer, has struck again! This time, he’s wagging his finger at former President Trump’s crypto craze, calling it a “misguided tango with digital tulips.” Meanwhile, China’s over there, sipping tea, building factories like they’re Legos, and hoarding gold like it’s going out of style. “Bitcoin? Pfft,” says China, “We’ll stick to shiny rocks, thank you very much!”

Here’s the scoop: The U.S. is sitting on a pile of 198,000 BTC, probably stored in a vault guarded by a guy named Steve. China, on the other hand, has snatched up 190,000-194,000 BTC from seizures, because apparently, they’re the world’s biggest crypto garage sale enthusiasts. But let’s be real, they’re not sweating it. Why? Because by December 2025, they’ll have 2,306 tonnes of gold, valued at over $319 billion. That’s right, folks-enough gold to make King Midas blush and enough to buy a small planet (or at least a really nice yacht).

So, while the U.S. is betting on digital coins that could one day be worth as much as a Beanie Baby, China’s doubling down on the good stuff. Traditional assets? More like “traditionally awesome.” Schiff’s verdict? “Crypto is a fad, gold is forever.” And China’s like, “Yeah, what he said. Now, pass the dumplings.”

Stacks of gold bars, because why not?
