The Asset Bubble Blueprint: Boom → Bust → Repricing

Groundbreaking assets almost always follow the same arc. There’s a pattern that keeps repeating when an asset is trying to solve something that fundamentally changes how we operate. First the market gets excited, then it gets disappointed, and then if the mission proves real, it starts to understand what it was actually buying in the first place.

It always starts with a surge of optimism. A new asset enters the scene with a big promise and even b
