The link between an asset&#x27;s intrinsic value and its market value is elastic, and the elasticity depends on how quickly the money supply grows and the available rate of real returns elsewhere in the economy.  In theory, a fiat-based monetary system can have unbounded monetary growth; in such a system, there is always a &quot;greater fool&quot; and the link to intrinsic value is broken entirely.  Not saying this is actually happening, only that it can; it&#x27;s simply the degenerate case of what we actually observe.
