Peter Schiff is a longtime gold investor. He often criticizes Bitcoin in public. WatcherGuru is a news account on X with a big following. It posts fast updates on markets.
On Oct. 24, 2026, WatcherGuru shared a line from Schiff. He said Bitcoin will crash to $75,000. He added a warning for traders. "It's going to be a very long weekend for Bitcoiners," he said.
Bitcoin had already fallen that day. The price sat near $79,625 around 8:30 a.m. UTC. Traders with borrowed money felt the drop fast. A platform force-closes those bets when the price moves against them. That force-close is called a liquidation.
Coinglass counted 219,115 traders liquidated in 24 hours. Together they lost about $834 million. Most of those bets were wagers that the price would rise.

Why did this post spread so fast? Schiff is a known bear on Bitcoin. A bold number during a real crash grabs eyes fast. Readers scrolling through red charts want a clear voice, even a harsh one.
What does this say about crypto people today? A crash brings out two crowds every time. One crowd calls it a sale. The other crowd calls it proof the whole idea is broken. WatcherGuru's post fed the second crowd a single number to share. Schiff's $75,000 line gives traders a target to watch, right or wrong.
His call joins a long list of Bitcoin predictions. Some predictions age well. Many age poorly instead. Readers will know this one's answer within days, rather than years. For now, the post has done its job. It kept a tense Saturday afternoon one scroll away from the next price check.
