We used to have singular bubbles. Centralised organised markets where either the asset didn't really exist (like infinite parcels of land in the Pacific), or demand overwhelmed supply or it was a plain old pyramid fraud.
Now we have thousands and perhaps even millions of tiny bubbles just waiting to pop. We've had that before, the derivatives driven black hole in 2008.
The crypto bubbles tend to only affect small groups, but if they become involved in regular FI ---> Boom.

As in the last part of the post he also talked about training.
Time will tell.

According to Streeting at lunchtime that private providers have to source the resources needed but they can't reuse NHS staff and that's stipulated in the contracts.
When pushed on whether that means more foreign staff he said that's up to them and they could do that.
The implication is that foreign is wrong, but you can't train staff overnight.
There was also a lot on private providers sharing their training facilities with the NHS.

Hmmm..... tif they do go down the migrant health service staff route (doubling down on what the UK is already doing), it might alleviate an immediate crisis, but unless the UK also expands quickly training provision (and support for students), all that will happen is we will (once again) export a crisis to the developing world (this time to their domestic health services from whom we are stealing staff)!
