I was watching the Big short and noticed that two guys on that got rich by investing on things people hoped would never happen, and it got me thinking.

And I thought about something that everyone hopes will never happen and have convinced themselves won't, but all signs point to it definitely happening. I don't wanna give it away but I'm not sure where to start. If I actually do end up finding a way to invest in it i'll share.

What I really want to know, was this just some throwaway line or is this kind of thing possible, and how do you start investing in people's fears?

That's a good one but i think mine is more far reaching, akin to the housing crisis. It'll effect people on a global scale.

Is it the Chinese housing market? the American housing market? The bankers here are doing the same thing that caused the crisis in 2008.

Protip: you look at the stock market and you find the most over valued sector and you short it. You short it hard.

Since 2011 this has been the tech stocks. Particularly Google, Amazon and Facebook.

It's unlikely that you will accomplish anything without power.

George Soros is famous for investing in events that people think are unlikely, igniting the fire and cashing out.

Although you need money and proxies to pull this off.

So then you could short currency right? Which would just essentially be borrowing money from the bank, using it to buy alot of buttcoin, then buying the money back with buttcoin when it plummets and giving it back to the bank

Only problem is that volatility will be brutal with >+-70% swings for Bitcoin as we have seen in the past. So better don't take on to much leverage doing this.
