The guy who famously called the 2008 housing crash is sounding alarms again. Michael Burry just dropped a bombshell prediction—he's bracing for a market-wide collapse that could dwarf the dot-com meltdown of 2000. Yeah, you read that right. Not just a correction. Not a temporary dip. A prolonged, brutal selloff across the board.
Burry isn't one to cry wolf. His track record speaks volumes. When he talks, institutional money listens. And right now? He's positioned defensively, signaling that this isn't about isolated sectors anymore. Tech stocks, traditional equities, and yes—even risk assets like crypto could face serious headwinds if his thesis plays out.
The 2000 crash wiped out trillions and took years to recover from. If Burry's calling for something worse, that's a wake-up call for anyone holding leveraged positions or overexposed portfolios. Markets have been riding high on liquidity for years. But when the tide goes out, we'll see who's been swimming naked.

Speaking of Burry, we were listening to his predictions the same way three years ago, and what happened? The market just kept going up. I'm not saying he was wrong, but with these kinds of predictions, just listen and don't take them too seriously. After all, bear markets are part of the historical cycle. We can just treat this as an opportunity to position ourselves at a low point. Three years from now, when we look back, today’s losses will just be stories.

Burry is sounding the alarm again. This guy does have a track record... He definitely got it right in 2008, but calling for a crash now seems a bit premature. With so much liquidity, would it really be that bad?

ngl burry's been right before but "worse than dot-com" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here... statistically speaking the correlation coefficients don't quite add up yet. still, not financial advice but anyone leveraged to the gills rn is playing with fire fr

Burry is calling the shots again... Whatever this guy says, you have to listen. But honestly, if it's really going to crash that hard, I better close out my little bit of leverage quickly.
Let's just wait and see, there's no escaping it anyway.
For those friends who are still going all in, keep your mindset steady.
They said it was over last year, still saying it this year. Whatever, I'll just keep doing my thing.
If Burry is right this time, then I really need to learn how to cut my losses.

When Burry speaks, I still have to listen—he really was impressive back in ’08. But now he's calling for a crash... Bro, do you really think it's all over this time, or are you just here to fleece the newbies again?

This guy Burry really isn't just chasing clout—he made a killing in 2008. Now he's saying there's going to be another crash, so we should listen. Really need to cut back on leveraged positions.
If crypto crashes along with everything else, it'll be really tough for us retail investors...
He talks tougher than anyone, but there are very few institutions actually bold enough to go all-in on short positions. Everyone's waiting to see who jumps first.
Is he just trying to scare people, or is it really coming? Feels like everyone has been quietly reducing their positions lately.
Honestly, the ones who needed to get out have already left—the rest of us are always the last to know.
