Para que esto suceda, el valor total de Bitcoin tendría que aumentar significativamente. Actualmente, Bitcoin tiene un precio de alrededor de 100.000 dólares. Por lo tanto, 1 millón de Bitcoin a 100.000 dólares por Bitcoin valdría 100.000 millones de dólares en total, lo que no es suficiente para pagar la deuda nacional de Estados Unidos, que ronda los 36,25 billones de dólares.
Schiff dice que esto no es posible, ya que Bitcoin tendría que aumentar su valor en más de un 20.000%, lo cual no es realista.
Incluso si el valor de Bitcoin aumenta, la deuda estadounidense sigue creciendo. El gobierno de Estados Unidos pide dinero prestado anualmente, por lo que se espera que la deuda siga aumentando. Esto hace que la idea de que Bitcoin pague la deuda sea aún más difícil de creer.
Además, para entonces la Deuda Nacional será mucho más de 36,25 billones de dólares, lo que requerirá un precio Bitcoin mucho más alto para pagarla.

Peter Schiff has long criticized Bitcoin, saying it lacks value and won’t replace traditional money or assets like gold. He points out Bitcoin’s extreme price swings, making it unreliable for saving or buying everyday things. He believes most Bitcoin buyers are speculating, not using it as money.
Schiff also doubts Bitcoin will ever be widely adopted. While its price has grown, Bitcoin still needs to be used as a global currency. Only some countries have accepted it as official money, and most governments resist replacing their currencies with Bitcoin. Schiff believes Bitcoin will always remain the world’s main currency.
Some Bitcoin supporters think the cryptocurrency will keep increasing in value as more people adopt it. They believe it could even reach $1 million per coin, making it an alternative to traditional money.
However, Schiff sees the idea of Bitcoin paying off the U.S. national debt as highly unlikely. The market cap required for such a scenario is too large, and the growing national debt makes it even less possible.
As Peter Schiff says, “Bitcoin is a speculative asset, and its value is driven by hope, not real demand.”
While Bitcoin might continue to grow for some, Schiff believes that paying off the U.S. national debt is just an unrealistic dream.
