Peter Schiff flashes a Bitcoin address and y'all throw him $2,000? What exactly do you think this accomplishes? https://t.co/rAADlDPY1F — Mike In Space (@mikeinspace) July 5, 2019

Peter Schiff, a cryptocurrency hater and gold lover, received more than $2,000 worth of BTC as donation after having admitted he did, in fact, hold some bitcoin.

He ordered Petro transactions be accepted in all agencies of the Banco de Venezuela at a national level, according to a tweet posted by the Economy and Finance Ministry. The details are still scarce, but some experts say this could mean the bank will be in charge of opening wallets and handling asset custody.
