Hi,

I am pro cryptos and blockchain tech, so this is not to be a discussion of the role of these in the global economy.

I am interested in spotting the "real" future bubble which I believe will come if the crypto market continues to expand to 1-3 trillion within the next two years or so. If this is to happen, and virtually everyone´s grandmother is exposed to cryptos through retirement savings funds, I believe we will see a similar crisis pattern as we did in 2001-02 and 2008-09.

In 2001 we had inflated tech stocks of companies with no no revenues/earnings and in 2008 we had a bull market fueled by home equity debt, teaser rates to homeowners with no chance of paying their mortgages, and worthless financial products rated AAA.

In both instances, the assets in question were complex and people were overly optimistic about them. This time seems to be quite the same, however, what data/red flags should we look for going forward going before we decide to short?
