Everyone says that the "Next Crash will be the Mother of All Bubbles." In Graham Summers' book, "The Everything Bubble," Summers addresses why asset bubbles occur and why they "pop," as well as how our central bank normally responds to them - by inflating a different asset. That's all well and good, but what can we as investors do to not only anticipate, but also respond to the next bubble? Summers does a good job of laying out what will likely occur from the Fed's point of view, which might help us respond when the time comes. And crypto might play a hand in part of that solution.
