New technologies are an investment field with risks. Investing in them means taking risks on untested businesses, often from dishonest or unskilled developers. While some lead investors to extraordinary profits, many others turn out to be simple bubbles – a thin surface of excitement and hype with few profitable elements at their core. However, ignoring these technologies may be even worse, as it may mean failing to capitalize on the next big leap in innovation.

From cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies to the metaverse, Web3, and NFTs, as well as autonomous vehicles, delivery drones, battery soles, and eVTOLs, technology bubbles have been growing and bursting for many years. Every time a bubble bursts, billions of dollars in investments disappear with it.

The book Unicorns, Hype, and Bubbles equips the reader with the tools needed to distinguish between bubbles and genuine, sustainable technological revolutions. Under the guidance of Jeffrey Funk, you will learn:

• Economics of modern businesses and how they lead to bubble creation.
• How to evaluate new technologies to separate sustainable investments from bubbles resulting from Greek propaganda.
• That you can be a much better judge of new technologies than the so-called "industry experts."
• How to spot interesting new opportunities in a world of loss-making startups.
