#MichaelBurry shorted housing in 2005.

For two years his investors called him an idiot and demanded their money back as he paid premiums to stay in his position.

His fund lost 18% in a year that the S&P index was up ~10%.

Burry fired half of his staff fell into depression.

Why couldn't his investors see the simple logic to his trade?

Meanwhile, his big bank counter-parties gaslit him the whole way.

When the bonds he bet against started to fail, they refused to fairly price his positions.

That is, until they finally got in on the trade.

That's when the floodgates opened up and The #BigShort finally paid off.

When the logic behind the inevitable suddenly became undeniable.

I can't help but notice similarities with #Bitcoin

Now that #BlackRock is positioned, prepare for whiplash as the entire marketing apparatus of the world's largest institutions gets behind BTC.
