Peter Schiff knows the true nature of assets and money better than most people, he's a fundmanager. He also knows bitcoin very well, and he thinks it's worthless garbage. So why would you assume most people would like btc and not think it's garbage.
Maybe most of them will think it's garbage just like Schiff does? Do you really think they would just love high fees, slow transactions and also other problems? Why would you assume that?
It's probably more of a case of Schiffer setting out his stall i.e. he wants to attract a more traditional, fearful type of customer. The type who has 80% in bonds.
The fund manager Ruffer Investment Management on the other hand has just added 2.5% Bitcoin to its balance sheet. Funnily enough Ruffer is a strategic "absolute return" company, sort of a bond proxy.
I've never heard of Peter Schiff's companies before, maybe because I'm in the UK. Everyone has heard of Ruffer though who manage $20bn in customer assets.
Ultimately, it's still all risk / reward with a few horses in the race.
More and more people are simply putting an each way yankee bet on Bitcoin though
