The sad thing is that when it bursts it won't do it in a hilarious "billionaires all get shafted" way like it didn't any of the previous times. It's far more likely to take the form of the most powerful AIs suddenly only being accessible to the wealthy.

It will burst because billionaires decided to get out. They will know just before it happens and time their exit perfectly. Everyone else will suffer and then they will buy right back at a massive discount. They have all the information, the fastest movement, and control of the levers. I refuse to play this unwinnable game.
