What Hacker News says
- I recommend reading the book “ Panic: The Story of Modern Financial Insanity” by Michael Lewis. It’s a series of articles and expert opinions before and after modern market crashes that helps gaining perspective of expert opinions during the ups and downs of the market.
- Oh, and adding to the book recommendations: pick one of Michael Lewis's books. Lair's Poker, The Big Short, Panic, or Flash Boys.
- "my recollection is that less than two years ago, nobody in the mainstream was acknowledging that a housing bubble even existed."
My recollection is different, because I was reading Business Week more than three years ago. The housing bubble has looked like a bubble for a long time to people who considered how much faster house prices increased than wages.
Michael Lewis's collection of articles, Panic,
http://www.amazon.com/Panic-Story-Modern-Financial-Insanity/...
includes articles that foresaw the housing crash more than two years ago.
- I believe view fraud is exactly what happened to the dotcom-era company that offered to pay users. I recall reading about it in Michael Lewis' book "Panic!"
No wonder Brave is trying to pay people with a useless e-token.
