Michael Burry, the famed investor who predicted the 2008 housing crash, has issued a stark warning linking Bitcoin's volatility to the precious metals market. Burry suggests that a significant plunge in Bitcoin (BTC) could force leveraged investors to liquidate approximately $1 billion worth of gold and silver holdings to cover losses. This potential cascade highlights the interconnected risks in modern digital and traditional asset portfolios. Analysts are monitoring the situation as Bitcoin price fluctuations may now have direct implications for commodities like gold (XAU) and silver (XAG), signaling a shift in market dynamics.
