People with no product raising many millions just by mentioning blockchain - what more do you want?
- prklmn 9y agoI'm going to remember this one for a long time! https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-21/crypto-craze-sees-long-island-iced-tea-rename-as-long-blockchain https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-21/crypto-cr...
- oculusthrift 9y agoright but the dot com bubble included Google and Ebay and a lot of other legit companies. Maybe one can argue that bitcoin and Ethereum are the analogs but only time can tell
- qbrass 9y agoThey can't be Google. Google survived the bubble by staying a small private company that bigger companies didn't see as worth acquiring. It saved them from dying with those companies when the bubble popped.
- fjsolwmv 9y agoI don't remember Yahoo or AOL dying in the bubble. (They died later)
- qbrass 9y agoAOL had been slowly dying since it's 2000 merger with Time Warner. It's just so large that it's been flailing about for almost two decades. I'll give you Yahoo. While their current demise may have been related to wounds from the dot com bubble, I think they could have been fine had they not overexerted themselves trying to return to glory. I can't blame them for trying, though.
