A short brief for the reader who suspects the whole thing is a mania — and would like to be right about that in a way that costs nothing.
A short brief for the investor who suspects this is a mania — and wants an honest answer, not a sales pitch.
This one takes the skeptic's case seriously: the circular financing, the "badge bolted onto an ordinary business," the plain fact that a model sitting in a data center creates nothing until it's applied to something real. Then it walks through what every bubble story leaves out — the railways that stayed after the speculators were ruined, the fifteen years it took the Nasdaq to reclaim its 2000 peak while the internet quietly became the entire economy — and lays out what the diffusion data says about whether the thing is actually being used, independent of what the market is paying for it.
