The Dot-Com Bubble - 5 Minute History Lesson 

1929: "This time is different." 2000: "This time is different." 2008 "This time is different." 2021 "This time is different."

"Stonks only go up." Famous last words.

"Normally investors are looking for companies with solid profits to invest in" *Tesla enters the chat*

It should be noted that the infrastructure built in the bubble is what provided the systems necessary for mass adoption. All that selling of networking and storage allowed cloud services to become a thing. I'm using a lot of shorthand here, but I used to work at a consulting firm called Wikibon, and we studied this at length. Basically, if the internet grew organically, we would still be years behind on network infrastructure, which would have made things like CDNs (like RU-vid or twitch) impossible until recently.

3:13 You thought you could sneak those sound effects past us, did you?

Man this channel’s production value is simply skyrocketing, and the sound effects have me dying 😂

Very well made. Wish you and your channel the best of luck!

I remember how good it was during my job search in late 1997. 80 calls/day. I would go out to lunch and when I came back, there were more messages from recruiters on my answering machine. I could have chosen to work in any major city in the country, because of the high demand.

The only video on YT where I needed to slow down the Playback speed

THE SPEED AT WHICH THE NARRATIVE WAS MADE SURELY GAVE THE VIEWERS THE ANXIETY OF THE BUBBLE BURST

I’m pumped to watch this tonight when I’m off work! You guys do an amazing job covering history in the stock market. Always interesting and well presented :) keep it up!

I thought I was playing this video at 1.5 speed!

People never learn from history. Especially if we’re dealing with money. Greed eats brains.

This video was exponentially better than I thought it was going to be. It was both entertaining and informative while being fast paced... thank you

This sound so modern and contemporary, I sure wonder why

Amazing. I remember when this all happened and it's cool to hear a quick little story about it a long time in the future.

The way this was made right before the Stimulus Economy is… prophetic. Though as I’ve heard personally, while history doesn’t repeat, it often rhymes.

Wooo I was waiting for this episode. The 5 minute history lessons are awesome.

Absolutely brilliant video. Thank you so much for your hard work.

Always smart and entertaining, well done!! 😁

I never understood the DotCom bubble until now. Excellent video!

People became too greedy, and they started to avoid basic fundamentals of investing. Now if you will tell people this these days then they would think you are mad and you are missing out but sometimes it is better to miss the boat, than drown.

I love this 5 minutes history videos!! Please continue to them, they're very funny and educational

Wow this one was fun! Very fast paced and almost climactical in narration, good job!!

This time is different.....

These videos ar hilarious, keep them coming! Amazing work with all of them.

The quality and content of your videos are superb! Very educational and engaging!!

Me watching videos about 1929: Government lower the interest rate to incentive people to invest. The nore demand for stocks, higher the price. After a while the market adjust to the new lower interest rate and is back to normal, making it no longer worth to invest, the more people sell, the lower the price, and the crash happens. Me watching videos about the bubble dot-com: Lowest interest rates since the 70s, people invest like crazy in any dot-com, after 2000 the market normalize and readjust to the new lower prices and investments is no longer worth. BOOM another crisis. Me watching videos about QE "Quantitave Easing is a government program to make people invest more via the lowest interest rates EVER and via printing money and lending to entrepreneur." Me: OMG WE ARE IN A MEGA BUBBLE. FUCK WHAT SHOULD WE DO!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this useful data! Greatly appreciated. Amazing job by the way......

Definitely the right time to come out with this lol, thanks again!

This channel deserves more views! Great work!

Finally I was waiting for you to do this one

Love your videos, you’re doing a great job. Please do a video on turnover %

Just had to rewatch this video tonight. Earlier I was talking to my parents reminiscing on 9/11 (I was in elementary school then) and saying despite the horrors of that day what came after was better because of the patriotism and how unified everyone was. My dad simply said he hated 2001 as a whole because the “economy sucked”. I didn’t get it at first and it clicked and I said the dotcom bubble. And my dad clarified he hated 2001 because he worked for a computer company (and still does) and the bursting of the bubble made his work slow and made him uneasy about a possible lay off. He said when 2001 was over he said he was so happy, as he will with 2020. And now I go to this video.

*Just amazing!! shortest and more well explained Dotcom Video Ever!*

"Invented wealth is dangerous in the digital age" is a great lesson. I hope we learn it someday.

Love how you explain things, easy and straight to the point.

Hey i wrote my Bachlor Thesis about Speculative bubbles (The Dotcom Bubble included). This video was very helpful! Thank you

That was entertaining and informative. You make good content. Thanks.

I feel like we’re currently in a watered down version of 1999.

The animation quality, editing, and humor in this were excellent!

Thanks for the video! Top-quality content!!

The visual makes this channel easy to comprehend. Keep this up!

Next up... “The 2020 Fed ‘Printer go Brrrrrr’ Bubble - 5 Minute History Lesson”

this definitely feels like cryptocurrency today

Your videos are awesome. please continue to make same level of fascinating contents

You have a very nice site. Very easy to navigate. Great video. Keep up the good work.

Love the quick explanation. I think it applies almost equally to crypto now that it's in a mania once again & people start pouring cash into meme coins & sometimes outright scam coins. And when the rug pull comes, it is only the ones with utility & adoption & adaptation that will survive and thrive.

Great video. I'm curious if the timing of this video has anything analogous to this? 😋

Good jobs old sport, that the best short video I've see on the subject.

Thanks for the interesting explanation.

"It takes but a reality check to pop the bubble."

Moral of the story: unless you happen to have a crystal ball and know exactly when bubbles burst, it's best to wait until after the bubble to get in on the hoopla. To be clear, this does _not_ mean you shouldn't start investing right now, because investing is a long-term goal, but if you want to profit off short-term surges, it's best not to risk it all doing so.

Another great 5min video keep up the good work

Dude Your Videos are awesome. Great Content

4:35 "Things go from Mamma Mia to Red Wedding real quick" I'm dead 😂😂😂

Great stuff, rich....! 👌🏻

Thank you for the interesting and informational information, you got great information. 😃

your videos have tided me through my business school interviews, thank you so much

Thanks for explaining. I was about 8 years old at the time. So I remember that most people wouldn't really use the internet yet. Cause it was slow. But it was clearly the next big thing. But I never knew what the incident was until now. you always just hear about it. It obviously didn't end the internet though

Any correlations with Tesla after these couple of days? lol

Thank you for another 5 min History video. Can you do more of these? I recommend you do one on the South Seas Bubble.

Your best video yet!

Finally, a new 5 minutes history lesson!

Is it weird that as i am watching this, i’m trying to remember the dates/year so that i would know when to sell my shares... if ever i accidentally time travelled to the past...

Love your videos, Mr.Coffin!

This was a great video and really helped me visualize what exactly was happening.

Would love to see an explanation of the economy in the 70's, since it's a common concern that another "lost decade" is around the corner.

Hahahahaha thers is no way we gonna repeat the same thing that happen in the past, am i right softbank????

Top quality video, that deserves more views!

Great content. Dont remember following you before but im glad i did.

These 5 minute history videos are so so good they remind me of oversimplified vids

"oh, that didn't take long." ehehe, it never does.

One of the most poetic investing videos that I have ever seen

Please do more! I love these? Maybe do one on Brexit and it's economic effects on Europe

Ah, because of the ships in the thumbnail I thought you will also mention South Sea bubble

This is litteraly happing right now .

Please do more of these!

I love these 5 mins!

Can't wait for the cryptocurrency bubble video.

2021: "this time it's different!"

Awesome! Very easy to understand!

I'd like a shirt that's a bit more discrete than the current one available. Thanks for the great content!

I wonder if in a few years we’ll get: “The Covid-19 Bubble, - 5 minute history lesson”

Internet Explorer killed Netscape Navigator 😂🤣🤣👍🏽

Loved the video, funny and informative

Man the work you put into this video...is🏌️🤯 them sound effects🙈🙉🙊🤣🤑

The dot com bubble, brought to you by a website design service.

Well, difference with crypto is that this happened at market cap 10 trill, crypto is still at 2 trill

Pissed myself with this video. Pretty cool!

Loved your content, Mr Coffin! Continue, please!

💛💙💚🧡 Looking forward to your next video on Bitcoin titled "I was wrong" because it's re-bubbled up for the 4th time in history again, meaning its not actually a bubble 💛💙💚🧡

Was this a video about Tesla?

Very informative! And entertaining.

Great video, I look forward to the "GameStop Mania - 5 Minute History Lesson" video!

The Tesla Bubble inbound

5:27 Did I see a #TSLA graph?

Very well done mr bagel

I’ve met one of the founders of Netscape. I sold him an iPad, he sold his shares earlier on and now owns an outdoor mall in Mississippi including where the only Apple Store is located in the state.
