Forget CDOs, Meet CCOs: This Isn't A Tech Cycle... It's 2008 With Silicon
In July, the appropriately-named 'Groundbreaker' website laid out a structural diagnosis that most of the market still refuses to confront: the AI boom is not a technology cycle. It is a credit-driven real-estate-like cycle whose financing architecture depends on the second derivative.
Levels (backlogs, gigawatts, revenue, token usage) and the first derivative (growth rates) remain the only numbers anyone watches.
The second derivative - the acceleration of that growth - is where regime change actually lives.
Structures built on the assumption of perpetual acceleration do not require a collapse in demand or a decline in absolute spending to break.
They break when growth merely stops accelerating.
That is the 2008 mechanic, not the 2000 one. And the collateral of this particular cycle is not houses. It is compute.
Six weeks later, Nvidia has made the thesis explicit.
With the $1.8 trillion off-balance-sheet time-b...
