In this episode, we explore how the internet dream of the late 1990s became one of the most famous market crashes in modern history. The internet was real, powerful, and revolutionary — but investors turned that promise into a wave of speculation.

Companies with little revenue, no profits, and weak business models suddenly became stock market favorites. IPOs exploded, media hype grew louder, and fear of missing out pushed valuations higher and higher. But when investors finally started asking simple questions — how does this company make money, and can it survive? — the bubble began to collapse.

The dot-com crash reminds us of a timeless lesson: innovation can be real, but hype can still destroy wealth.
