This, in a nutshell, is why the human condition is so tragic. This won't be "interesting", believe me. Watch what happens when the body of startups funded by global pools of capital (which are the underlying source of capital for VCs) sees the NPV of software startups vanish as lower expected investment returns smack up against higher risk-free rates. The current software economy is incredibly leveraged and intertwined. Most startups are not cashflow positive, and they're explanation for that is that they have low CapEx. However, it's all been transferred to OpEx that is the web of mutuality between them. There is a huge body of low quality startups that are going to stop paying monthly Slack, Git(hub/lab), Trello/Atlassian, Twilio, Mongo, every other monthly-billed service, and put the breaks on AWS/GCE/et al spending. The AWS spending, for example, will result in layoffs in Seattle, which will lead to people forced out of their homes and forced sales for losses (which will ruin them financially), and that will result in a cycle of real estate deflation (which, as you saw in 2006, leats to pools of buyers trapped in their home, killing construction and labor mobility). And thankfully we'll have deregulated or de-fanged federal regulators just in time for all of this! WeWork is the obvious first bankruptcy, since they almost entirely exist because of venture funding froth. I don't know who have funded them offhand, but that might result in forced selling of private shares and lower private valuations, with further deflation risks in that sector. Then it will expand to the broader economy. /rant.

edit: I worked through both the dot-com and mortgage-backed security fraud crises. They were terrible.
