They're not calling a Bitcoin bubble pop - they're being cute and calling an attention-bubble pop.
From the piece:
"... America woke up — and went from novice to expert to blasé on the topic."
"If you were going to create a graph of the day's interest in Bitcoin, it would likely spike high in the morning, run steady for a little bit, then crash early in the afternoon. It was, if you will, a Bitcoin conversation bubble. And like any bubble, it burst."
I think the author confounds the media machine's behavior with public behavior - the media have come to believe their own propaganda. It has been fascinating to watch them mangle the Bitcoin meme - a useful reminder of how they approach all "news".
