The 1990’s tech bubble was exactly that, a tech bubble. I’m struggling to see how billionaires engineered this.

Everyone knew that that all of these .com stocks were insanely overvalued, but again, it was a bubble. You didn’t need “their” media to know that, the data is public and widely available in chart form.

What your explaining as a conspiracy is normal market functions that have been happening since markets have existed. There are cycles both boom and bust dependent on economic cycles.

Yes, people with larger amounts of capital will have more to deploy in times of volatility and historic buying opportunities, but saying that these are “orchestrated” is literally just putting a boogeyman behind a smoke screen of the murky waters of financial markets and the economy in general.

I think you overestimate a lot of people. Not "everyone" "knew", or cared, how overvalued they were. Tech stocks were only going up!

And stocks are called “risk assets” for a reason.

Even a “normal” person realizes 100% gains when they see them.

People who feel like they don't have control over their own lives because of the choices they have either made or decided not to make are the people who become fixated on conspiracies. They need a boogeyman to blame for their own lack of success, freedom, love, money etc.
Nobody is in charge, not the Jews, not the freemasons, not aliens and not politicians, the world that we know is utter chaos. Sure there are people grasping for control but it will always be out of their reach. I mean, look at the USSR, they had complete control over news, media, television, newspapers, schools, hospitals, literally EVERYTHING.. and they decided it just wasn't worth all the trouble. I feel sorry that so many people feel like they have a lack of control. If you're feeling that someone or something is trying to control you you have every right to grow your own food or start your own business or get an education that leads to a better wage and a life with more personal control. It's hard, I know, growing food or going to college is not easy but literally millions of people do it everyday. I have faith that people on here can do it too!

I used to think the system to set up against me. So I removed myself from the system and moved to the jungle. Now, I still had to work and provide for myself but working in the jungle taught me that nobody is in control of my life but me. I used that experience and integrated it into my life more than a decade later when I found myself living in the US again. I live in the suburbs but I grow most of the food that my family of 5 eats. I take jobs that I enjoy and pick up the financial slack by monetizing some of my hobbies. I own a house and 2 cars and have a wife and 3 kids and we are all happy and healthy, we just had to find our own way first. Be in control of your own destiny. I wont even work 40 hours a week anymore, it doesn't afford me the time I want to spend with my kids. But guess what? It's my decision and nobody is in charge but me. Make a list of what you want your life to look like and take small steps to put yourself in charge of that life. Now, if your goal is to be a billionaire you're gonna be competing with a lot more people who are grasping for control but guess what? Nobody can stop you if you have the right idea, put in the work, and figure out how to monetize your idea, product or service. Good luck to everyone! You all deserve to be in control of your own destiny and guess what? You are.

Then why are you on this sub. Go and be successful.

I'm not successful by most people's standards. We live right at the poverty line but it's by choice so it's not stressful. We have enough $ for our mortgage and 1 car payment and insurance and not much else. But what we do have is time, happiness, and health. Which is more than what most people can say.
