Maybe, maybe not. I wonder if after the AI bubble pops (whenever that happens - crosses fingers) data centers will close and suddenly have to liquidate a bunch of assets. Kinda like what happened after the NFT crash.
It will crash but we don’t know when. It could be 2-3 years from now for all we know or it can be tomorrow. And when it crashes a lot of people are going to lose their incomes and I don’t want to be in a position when everything is cheap but I still can’t afford.
The AI bubble bursting will probably cause a shitload of tech companies to go bankrupt and cause divestment in data centres, but it'll be enterprise hardware mainly I think. Prices likely will fall as a second order effect. And the economy will probably also collapse as bad or worse than 2008. Lots to look forward to.
The NFT crash was more digital assets with no other use-case. I can imagine there is a slight drop in adjustment pricing but if large resellers and producers want continued massive profits they will just keep the prices inflated like we've seen with so many other money grabs after the covid-pandemic.
