I wouldn't count on it collapsing any time soon. Not with everyone from Visa to Time magazine jumping on the bandwagon

There is a well known curse to Time/Newsweek/Businessweek covers. Things that make the front page there tend to do worse.

No guarantee, but it’s more of an anti signal.

That's regression to the mean and perfectly normal, there's a whole science associated with it. It's not a curse or even specific to any outlet. This is a suitable example: https://web.archive.org/web/20210121061334/http://wmbriggs.c...

"Jump on the bandwagon" Meaning: to support a cause only because it is popular to do so.

Sounds like a bubble. I encourage more people to jump on the bandwagon. I'm not in a hurry to get my new computer and the bigger the bubble gets the more cheap hardware will be available when it pops.
