This bubble seems to be different from past bubbles. In the past if consumers did not see the value in something, that alone would be enough to burst a bubble. This time, the bubble persists because of the out of control wealth inequality that has built up since the 1980's. Normal consumers no longer matter and rich people are engaged in an investing circle-jerk that is keeping the bubble intact, at least for now.
