Famous long time Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) critic and gold proponent Peter Schiff admitted that he regrets not buying the world's first cryptocurrency.

What Happened: During a podcast episode published on Thursday, Schiff said that if he could "go back in time," one of the things that he would do differently would be buying Bitcoin. On the other hand, he said that if he, in fact, did buy Bitcoin, then he would have had no way to know when he would have decided to sell it.

Why It Matters: Despite regretting not buying into Bitcoin, Schiff stays true to his idea that Bitcoin has no future and that buying it because he regrets not buying it earlier would be a mistake.

He explained that what he is not going to do is buy Bitcoin now, feeling like it is a "ground floor for an opportunity," because "this is when the people who got in at the ground floor are getting out."

The gold proponent said that he is "not gonna be somebody's exit strategy" and "if you're gonna cash out, it's not with my money."
