I'm kind of expecting we'll see a similar scenario to the dotCom bubble which wiped out majority of the existing tech companies, but then once the dust settled, useful tech came out of the whole thing. We're in the main hype phase of this technology right now, and a lot of companies are making idiotic bets that are obviously going to be ruinous.
Also worth noting that the spike in energy prices resulting from the war on Iran could be a catalyst for the bubble popping since data centers need massive amounts of energy to operate.
