Anthony Scaramucci is enthusiastic about Bitcoin amid market fall, and he urges investors to be patient
Anthony Scaramucci is the founder and CEO of SkyBridge Capital wealth management fund, and he is enthusiastic about Bitcoin, Ethereum and some other digital currencies.
In his interview on the recent episode of CNBC’s Squawk Box, he revealed why he remains bullish on Bitcoin and ETH, while crypto critic Peter Schiff mocks his appearance and bullish speech as the crypto market keeps plummeting.
“There’s flight to quality” in Bitcoin
Scaramucci said that despite the overall massacre on the crypto market led by Bitcoin, he remains encouraged thanks to the fact that Bitcoin holds more than 50% of the total crypto market capitalization.
It is one more sign that “there’s a flight to quality there,” he stated. He has explained the current bloodbath by the Federal Reserve raising interest rates 1-2% and additional pressure on the market from the Celsius situation.
The head of SkyBridge compared the current situation to that six weeks ago, when Bitcoin and the whole market were going down because of the historic interest rate hike and the collapse of the Terra network, along with its coins LUNA and UST, when the latter lost its USD peg.
„Охрабрује ме чињеница да #Битцоин је изнад 50% укупног броја #црипто тржишна капитализација тренутно, што је још један знак да постоји лет ка квалитету“, каже он @Сцарамуцци. „Препоручио бих људима да остану дисциплиновани. Купили смо још $ БТЦ $ ЕТХ". пиц.твиттер.цом/5гзОитм4Н5

SkyBridge buying more BTC and ETH
Anthony Scaramucci also compared the current sell-off to the crash of web1 companies in 2000, when shares of nearly all internet companies—aside from Amazon—plunged.
He has recommended that investors stay disciplined. When answering the host Andrew Dorkin, if that means “buy the dip,” Scaramucci admitted that SkyBridge Capital has bought more Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Besides, the fund is invested in the FTX exchange, and he called it a profitable company.
Peter Schiff comments on Scaramucci’s speech
Истакнути биткоин критичар Peter Schiff explained the appearance of BTC bull Scaramucci on CNBC among the crypto market bloodbath as an attempt to “pump Bitcoin.”
He tweeted that CNBC has again brought out “its regular Bitcoin pumpers.” As per Schiff, Scaramucci was invited to speak in order to prevent investors from jumping ship and selling their crashing crypto.
As #Битцоин sinks below $24K, with no bottom in sight, @ЦНБЦ brings out its regular Bitcoin pumpers, like contributor @Сцарамуцци to keep its viewers from doing the right thing by jumping ship. I doubt CNBC invites a single Bitcoin bear on its air today to take the other side.

“Bitcoin going to the moon after all”: Schiff
Schiff has released several tweets related to Bitcoin and its plunge today. In one of them, he sarcastically stated that Bitcoin is indeed going to the moon. The only thing is, he noted, BTC is heading there from Pluto.
When BTC flies past the moon and hits the earth, the landing will not be soft. As reported by U.Today on Sunday, Schiff expects Bitcoin to fall to $20,000 and Ethereum to decline to the $1,000 level.
Изгледа да #Битцоин is going to the moon after all. The problem for #ХОДЛерс is that it started its journey on Pluto. After it shoots past the moon, it’s headed straight for Earth. Just don’t look for a soft landing!
