Peter Schiff, a popular mainstream financial commentator and gold advocate, recently told people to send Bitcoin (BTC) to his 18-year-old son.
"Since so many of you Bitcoin guys are ribbing me because my son [Spencer Schiff] bought Bitcoin, why not really rub it in by gifting him some as a belated birthday present," Schiff said in an Aug. 27 tweet. "He turned 18 yesterday," Schiff noted. "He won't lose his," he said, posting his son's wallet address.
