Is this like the dot com bubble? My understanding is that the mindset of the time was a true mania - people were convinced it was the new normal and that businesses got insane valuations preproduct even. It seems like with a lot of these bubbles everyone is like “get in this stupidly inflated asset with money you can lose to try and make a quick buck” with retail investing at all time highs rather than some dramatic distortion in people’s perspectives. Even while assets are so inflated the investor sentiment still seems sober.

How is that any different from today?

Everyone is constantly saying it is a bubble and will pop soon. So sentiment is exactly the opposite.
