a bubble is kind of a goldrush situation,
where busineses and investors on mass jump into a new / hyped market or asset type without a propper plan & buisness model.for example the first recorded one: the tulip mania
the dot-com bubble was a massive bubble in the 90s centered arrount the emerging concept of “internet buissneses”

The internet was revolutionary, but dotcom was overhyped at the time.
