From the 'Babson Break' to AI and Meme Coins: A Global Bubble Driven by FOMO Is Taking Shape

The article draws a parallel between the 1929 "Babson Break" and current warnings about an AI bubble, suggesting a global FOMO-driven speculative mania is forming across multiple asset classes. It highlights concerns over unsustainable valuations in AI tech companies, where massive data center investments (projected near $1.6 trillion annually by 2030) are fueled by hype around unproven AGI capabilities. Beyond AI, bubbles are identified in gold, government bonds, private credit (dubbed "crap loans"), and particularly meme coins like TRUMP and MELANIA, which saw values plummet over 88%. The author argues speculative frenzy is amplified by social media, creating a global "attention economy" where collective obsession—from AI to pop culture trends—drives synchronized global market movements. While tech giants may withstand the AI investment rush, risky leverage by newer players and opaque financing structures (like SPVs buying Nvidia chips) raise systemic concerns. Experts warn that a collapse in AI or crypto could trigger a global crisis, emphasizing that productive eras historically follow only after speculative excesses are disciplined by regulation.
