When former US President Donald Trump mentioned the possibility of introducing Bitcoin (BTC) into children's savings programs, Peter Schiff, a prominent skeptic of virtual assets, launched a scathing critique, stating that this was a result of political favors from virtual asset industry donors. Experts believe that the influence of virtual asset magnates who have provided substantial political funds likely played a role in Trump's self-proclaimed status as a major virtual asset supporter, and controversy over the purity of future policies is expected to intensify.

According to crypto media outlet Finbold on July 7 (local time), Peter Schiff pointed out that Trump's hint at allowing Bitcoin purchases in "Trump Accounts," a virtual asset savings system for children, was not a policy vision but merely a show to reward major industry sponsors. He strongly suggested that virtual asset donors likely politically lobbied Trump to publicly declare himself a virtual asset supporter. Pro-Trump virtual asset companies and individuals targeted by Peter Schiff include Elon Musk, Ripple Labs, Coinbase, Crypto.com, and the Winklevoss brothers, who are known to have poured massive funds into the pro-Trump Super PAC (MAGA Inc.).

This widespread criticism aligns with Peter Schiff's long-standing distrust of virtual assets. His voice gains more traction as the virtual asset market struggles with weakness due to large-scale sell-off pressures from entities like Strategy. Although Bitcoin's price is currently trading around the $63,300 mark, seemingly establishing a temporary bearish support level, Peter Schiff has consistently criticized Michael Saylor's Bitcoin acquisition model. He warned that approved Bitcoin sales by corporations could trigger a full capitulation and a cascading crash in the virtual asset market in the future.

Peter Schiff also sharpened his criticism, stating that the modern US government's excessive abuse of power is more severe than the tyranny of colonial times. Citing weak June employment figures from a recent podcast, which showed 514,000 full-time jobs evaporated, he strongly condemned the fact that the presidential family accumulated immense wealth through the virtual asset industry amidst such an economic crisis.

Indeed, President Trump and his family have already generated over $1 billion in income from virtual asset-related businesses and activities. Due to this, Peter Schiff expressed deep concern that Trump might privately misuse the "Trump Accounts," a national policy system for children, to appease the widespread pressure from his virtual asset donors and represent their interests.
