When you sit in the top of the pyramid, of whatever you invest in and get hyped, it doesn't have to be profitable.

Only thing to monitor is the right time to withdraw from the hype.
Everyone else will pay for the losses.

You can count your profits and start the next bubble.

They are, in itself, not dangerous. But take stupid and/or malicious humans and anything can become a weapon. If you give your toddler access to your bank account, the result will be disastrous but you wouldn't put your toddler in a high security prison.

In our System it would require too much investment in basic infrastructure which wouldn't translate to stock prices.

With saying “we” it’s implied that I should identify with those who do these things. I don’t. I’m not in a race with China in anything. I don’t want the elected leaders to be either, but unfortunately they don’t represent me too well.
