Famous short seller Michael Burry has spoken out again, warning that a large-scale market crash is imminent. As an investor who accurately predicted the 2008 financial crisis, Burry's comments always attract market attention.

But the question is—how much should we trust his predictions in the volatile ecosystem of the crypto market? Burry indeed has a strong track record, but the market is always changing. Macroeconomic data, policy shifts, institutional movements—any of these could rewrite the script.

Perhaps it's worth considering that the issue isn't blindly following the trend, but understanding what his analysis points to—liquidity tightening? Asset bubbles? Or the natural signals of cyclical rotation?

Burry, this guy, made the right call in 2008 and now he's a prophet? The crypto space is inherently risky, and his traditional financial logic may not necessarily apply. Tightening liquidity is indeed something to be cautious about, but if a collapse were really coming, we should have seen the signals by now, right?

Burry made a fortune in 2008, and now he's just living in that history... Can the crypto market be the same as traditional finance? The fundamental logic is different, isn't it? Humans are not robots; we always want to find a master to guide us, but then we get cut and blame the market. Liquidity tightening? I think it's mainly about tightening the liquidity in our wallets... Instead of listening to him bearish, it's better to analyze policy trends ourselves, so we don't get cut and still don't know the reason.

Here we go again. Every time Burry speaks, the crypto market starts to panic, but he's predicting the stock market, not the crypto market. Burry says he’ll believe a crash? Then I would have gone bankrupt ten times since 2008. Historical track record is in the past; the rules are different in crypto. Trusting him is less reliable than trusting your own risk management. It sounds reasonable, but if you really follow his logic, you'll end up losing everything. Instead of obsessing over what he says, it's better to look at the fundamentals of your holdings to avoid being led by influencers. When the market is red, no one listens to him; when it's green, everyone blames him for not warning. It’s kind of funny. Tightening liquidity is worth paying attention to, but using his predictions to decide whether to go all in or all out? Better not.

Honestly, Burry's approach might work in traditional finance, but can it be the same in the crypto world... Hard to say. Is Burry predicting a downturn again? What did he say around this time last year? I’ve already forgotten haha. Instead of staring at him, better ask yourself how your liquidity is doing, whether your wallet can hold up. This guy succeeded once, and afterward he was treated as the ultimate truth of the universe, which is truly absurd. Predicting correctly once to enjoy a lifetime of benefits? Wake up, the market isn’t a rewind video.

Things from 2008 are in the past, and the crypto world isn't traditional finance. It always feels like he's just copying old scripts. Predicting accurately once and acting like a god? Information flows too quickly now, and even correct logic can easily be proven wrong.
