If markets tumble tomorrow, don't expect the same soft landing we saw after the dotcom crash. The stakes are fundamentally different now. Back then, financial exposure was contained to a narrower slice of the global economy. Today? Way more money is floating around the world's asset pools. A correction hits harder when there's exponentially more wealth caught in the crossfire.

Compared to the dot-com era, the current financial toxicity is indeed deeper, with a ripple effect that affects everything.

Speaking of which, if this really crashes this time, it will definitely not be a gentle decline like the internet bubble back then... the scale of funds is way too different.

To be honest, if this collapse really happens, it's way worse than the dot-com crash back then. There's just too much money, and it can't be contained at all.

Basically, this time is different. There's so much money that if it falls, it could kill someone.
