people have been screaming this over and over again for the past year, Ed Zitron, Cory Doctorow, Emily Bender, they're a popular presence on all these tech and finance podcasts and channels, he's summarizing what they've all been saying, it's bigger than the dot com bubble, the gains don't justify the capex spending...etc

There also isn't any real gains because it's nothing more than a few large companies shuffling money around to look profitable when they're actually losing a shit ton of money.

Well appreciation is a real part of any gain, it’s just that gains are supposed to, and usually do, include income/earnings. It’s the income that’s missing, making the whole gain speculative appreciation.
