Markets and Tech Cycle

Text on the meme

BEAR MARKETS MAKE GOOD TECH GOOD TECH MAKE BULL MARKETS BULL MARKETS MAKE BAD TECH BAD TECH MAKE BEAR MARKETS

What it means

A four-panel collage of classical Roman-style scenes illustrates a cyclical relationship between technology and financial markets: bear markets create good technology, good technology creates bull markets, bull markets create bad technology, and bad technology creates bear markets. The joke is a cynical commentary on boom-and-bust cycles in the tech industry and stock market, used as a reaction to discuss overvaluation, hype, and market crashes.
