Crypto fam, the ultimate contrarian is back with fire! 🔥 Dr. Michael Burry – the guy who predicted the 2008 crash and inspired "The Big Short" – just unloaded on Bitcoin in a bombshell podcast interview with author Michael Lewis (aired Dec 2, 2025).
Key quotes that shook the market:
Bitcoin at $100K+ is "the most ridiculous thing" he's seen.
BTC is "not worth anything" – pure speculation with no intrinsic value.
It's "the tulip bulb of our time"... but worse, because it "enables so much criminal activity to go deep under."
Burry's been bearish on crypto for years (called it a bubble back in 2021), but this ramps it up amid BTC's wild ride: Peaked over $120K earlier this year, now consolidating around $85K-$95K after a sharp correction. He contrasts it with gold (he's held physical since 2005) as the real safe-haven.
Why now? With ETF inflows slowing, regulatory scrutiny, and gold crushing BTC's performance in 2025, Burry's warning hits hard – echoing classics like Peter Schiff's critiques. Is this the voice of reason spotting another bubble, or just old-school TradFi missing the digital revolution?
History shows Burry nails big calls... but he's been early/wrong on some too. BTC bulls say adoption, scarcity, and institutional money prove him wrong long-term.
