It has already surpassed $10,000. What started off as a joke very well could make the creator hundreds of thousands of dollars. Don't believe me? These tokens are now trading publicly on exchanges. They're no longer useless, as you can trade them! You could say their project failed as a result :) If this makes zero sense to you, this kind of stuff is happening because there is such an excess of Ether in the market. Some of it is managed by real investors, as cryptocurrency has become a popular part of a balanced portfolio. Some of it is managed by young non-investors that threw money into ETH or BTC a few years ago. It's pretty ridiculous IMO. But that isn't stopping it from happening. People have already made an unthinkable amount of money. I would hope the economy eventually matures, and I too worry about a bubble because of some of the extremely high expectations people have. The "hodl" and "to the moon" mentality that is popular will have some refusing to cash out of their investments until it's too late. Most don't understand the technology as well. I've spoken with investors who claim to be "all in" on Ethereum but can't tell you what the Ethereum Foundation is or how proof of stake works. As an investor, I would hope to have a strong understanding of where the future of my investment is headed. Not the case for many. We're seeing some pretty interesting stuff going on. I wasn't in tech during the dot com bubble, but I've been told by others that were that this kind of mania seems very familiar.
