Is there a nickname or law describing the pre-announcement of something being a killer app that essentially predicts its doom?

  To be fair, I'm an OpenBazaar dev and I don't think anyone on our team is calling this the killer app of Bitcoin. Of course we have great faith in it, and expect it will be a great match for Bitcoin (decentralized markets for decentralized money) but we're not claiming this is the project to end all other Bitcoin projects. It's great to see so many people excited about it though.

    I hear ya. Self-proclaimed, which I didn't really mean to imply here, would be even worse.
