so say this has been going on since 2022 (Wikipedia says 2025 but uhh) making 2026 the fourth year (though for all of these the exact times are fuzzy)
The dot com bubble lasted 4 years
The Japanese asset bubble lasted 5 years
The pre-great recession US housing bubble lasted 5 years
The roaring 20s stock market bubble lasted 8 years
I know it feels like it's been forever but it objectively hasn't. There is no reason to believe this is anything resembling eternal.
