I was there during the crypto-bubble, the housing market bubble, but I don’t have any memory of the internet/dotcom bubble, and I was not alive during the rail-road bubble.

However, I want to know what the thoughts of the people were during that time. During AI, that fact that it’s a bubble is more apparent but during the housing and dotcom, I feel like it was more subtle (or I am too naive).

Does anyone have any personal experience of what it was like at that time? Were people as skeptical as they are today? What were they right/wrong about? Were the attitudes different? What changed after the crash?

    The housing bubble got me because we bought a cheap house, got divorced and then I couldn’t afford to buy a new house. Now I live in an apartment with quadruple the rent of my old mortgage.
