The principal question, is whether or not there are any Google or Amazon equivalents. Nearly all of the late 90's internet startups went bust, in many cases after spending a lot of startup money and accomplishing little. However, there were a few that had viable business models. The question of whether or not any of the cryptocurrency companies today actually have a viable business model, is still open. One could perhaps imagine Block (formerly Square) finding a way to survive, and making crypto some part of that. So, if a couple of crypto companies manage to survive: there is no difference. If not, the difference is that it was an "emptier" bubble than the .com one.
