This isn't what a bubble looks like. Service workers aren't asking if they should by bitcoin or some random tech stock in 1998. In 1998, I remember tech stocks regularly going up percents per day. Or cable TV shows in 2007 about flipping houses. There's a lack of general mania.

Are thing's overpriced? Maybe, but we've gotten to used to saying everything's a bubble.

Not sure what bubble original commenter was referring, but would you not agree that the past couple years' hysteria over AI and ML suggests that the tech sector, at least, is experiencing a bubble? I don't think it'll be an extremely dangerous bubble because most of the cash being thrown at these startups is out of the pockets of risky VC funds rather than your Lehmann Brothers savings account, but it's still a bubble.
