> are a huge stimulus to the economy and young people in particular. Sure a gold rush is always good. However one's life should be based on the normal, not the exceptional.

Right now, society promote art and sports are mean to become rich. We communicate value about violence, sex, money, owning stuff, power... If suddenly the media see a gold rush and promote "hey, to become rich, educate yourself and try to make a dent in the world." that would not be so bad. After all, the 2000 bubble did a HUGE service to all the nerds. We are way cooler than we used to be, and our life is way easier now.
