BUBBLE appeared after investor Michael Burry, known as the real-life inspiration for The Big Short, posted a tweet suggesting that markets were showing signs of a bubble and that in such moments, the smartest move might be to step aside entirely rather than try to profit from it. The tweet spread quickly, reaching over 11.7M views, with many interpreting it as a warning about an overheated market.

A few days later, a separate viral thread reignited the “bubble” talk when a reporter asked Trump if he was worried about an AI bubble. He said everyone wanted AI because “it’s the new internet.” In reply, a user joked that “it’s not a bubble, it’s the new internet,” and Elon Musk responded with a laughing and skull emoji.

Influencer Bastille is the one who launched the coin and is actively promoting it through his posts.

Bastille also shared that Michael Burry liked one of his posts where he wrote, “THE BUBBLE WILL POP.”

BUBBLE hit a $1.4M all-time high on November 4, four days after launch, following a Michael Burry interaction.
