You guys think it will be together with the "AI" bubble or that it will independently pop sooner? Because all of the prices currently are inflated deliberately using artificial scarcity and preying on FOMO.

As they say, "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent", especially if AI Bro financial circlejerk BS is the only thing staving off a recession / depression in the US, and the fraudster in chief is getting his cut.

If they hold on long enough, they'll have gone a long way towards making the population rent compute (after AI is found wanting, they're gonna want to do something with all that compute) and you know how much the technofuedalists love rent.
