'The Big Short' Michael Burry: Bitcoin is the 'tulip bulb' of our era, completely worthless

BlockBeats reported on December 2, citing Business Insider, that Michael Burry, the renowned investor and real-life inspiration for the movie *The Big Short*, referred to Bitcoin as 'the tulip bulb of our era' during a podcast hosted by Michael Lewis, the author of *The Big Short*, on Tuesday. This comparison alludes to the tulip market crash in the 1600s caused by speculative bubbles. Burry said, 'I think Bitcoin reaching $100,000 is the most absurd thing.' He described the cryptocurrency as 'completely worthless.' Burry also told Lewis, 'Bitcoin is worse than tulip bulbs because it has fueled the deep development of a vast amount of criminal activity.'
