I'm curious about the sizes of nfts, crypto and blockchain compared to the ai bubble
And yet, the MBAs continue to pump money into it like AI doesn't fail to provide any value in 80% of their shoehorned implementations.
80?
I feel like that number is way over 90, 95
Because it's the only growth area. Speculators need to speculate. There's money to be made on a bubble on the way up, and tons on the way down, as long as you time it right

Next bubble gonna be 64× ?
Good one 😂
quite an upgrade from the 32 bits
it's going to be pretty cool when the USD is annihilated by this
they really boned themselves by concentrating all of it among themselves and basing its value off of fake proof of work factories
I'm sorry that i must inform you that the world today is one big pot. The 2008 crisis created by the USA housing bubble, affected the whole world. An USD annihilation today after a big bubble burst, means total collapse.

This is insanity.
The dotcom bubble produced Google and Amazon.
I guess, if you count surviving it and having less competition. What did 2008 produce? Besides a stock reset for the rich.
2008 wasn't the collapse of the dom com bubble. That happened in 2002 or so. What happened in 2008 was the inevitable collapse of the banking and loan industry due to oversaturation of sub prime mortgages and the use of them by hedge funds as a way to cheat to industry and make shit tons of money off the backs of working class people.
Yes. They were two different crashes, I wasn't implying they were the same. If anything the tech bubble from mid 1990 to 2000 was more "honest", it just wasn't going to last yet everyone invested in it. Unlike the 2008 crash of real estate that the banks knew was a problem but ignored. Dotcom was tech, but 2008 was more like the current AI money run, in the methodology of pumping it for money until it breaks.
They received hundreds of billions of dollars in bailout funds. That really taught them a lesson!
Should have pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and saved for emergencies.
Maybe they ate less Avocado toast and that helped already.
The “too big to fail” banks used their bailout money to buy small and medium-sized banks that were struggling, increasing the market share of the already colossal banks that caused the disaster in the first place.
