A couple of others I can think of:

  • Crypto-boom of 2016ish: GPUs/mining rigs
  • LLM/AI hype nowish: User generated data
  • 90’s dotcom bubble: Server space

    Whenever I played Roller Coaster Tycoon I would jack up the price of umbrellas right before it rained.

      And here I was focusing on making money from the rides like some plebian smoothbrain. Also giving away the maps for free, because my guests always complained about getting lost in my labyrinth of a park with as many rides as I could fit, to the point of basically having four floors/levels in the park.

      When there’s an umbrella-rush, sell rain.
