That's not even the worst, or IMO most likely outcome.
IMO nobody who "invests" will come out ahead. This whole thing is a combination ponzi-scheme + ball-and-cup game with IPOs invested in other IPOs and circular revenue streams respectively. As such the bubble will only burst when the billionaire class decides to stop bailing it out. When that happens, companies are liquidated and their assets are sold off at a discount to priveledged buyers. AKA the billionaires will just own it directly and by that point we wont be able to do shit.
We are at a pivotal shift in technology where computing power matters more than money. When the bubble bursts the physical assets that let them control the internet and us will remain.
Thats why they want killer robots. Once they have those they basically win.
