In this episode, Tom Bilyeu takes us on a deep dive into the whirlwind of investment, hype, and speculation fueling the current AI boom—and the potential bubble forming around it. Over the last 18 months, trillions of dollars have flooded into AI-linked companies, driving market valuations to dizzying new heights—sometimes completely detached from business fundamentals. Drawing historical parallels to the dot-com era, Tom Bilyeu breaks down the psychology and economics behind market bubbles, introducing George Soros’ “reflexive loop” to explain why expectations, not just performance, are pushing assets higher. But there’s a reality check: while investment in AI is skyrocketing, actual productivity gains have hardly moved the needle, and the sector is rife with lofty promises that may take years—or decades—to materialize. If narrative and speculation are all that’s propping up prices, how do you protect yourself from the inevitable whipsaw of volatility and the risk of collapse? In this special episode, Tom Bilyeu unpacks what’s truly driving AI stocks, explores the dangers of fiscal dominance and cheap money, and delivers a clear, actionable set of strategies inspired by the survivors of the dot-com crash. Whether you’re a passionate tech investor, entrepreneur, or simply curious about the future, this episode will help you see through the hype and prepare for what comes next in the age of AI.
