What separates crypto from the dot-com tech bubble in the late 90s?

If this post gets downvoted to hell or removed, it's time to cash out. It's no crazy new insight that trading is driven by emotion. Professionals and amateurs are both, to a varied extent, victims of their emotion-driven and not always logical decisions. Has the bull run gone too far? Are investors in over their heads? Maybe. Markets are large and complex, with millions of intricate nodes influencing each other in an interconnected web of emotion and money. Even skilled investors with highly-specialized training and years of experience cannot really figure out what's going on in most cases. I've seen comments here saying BTC will reach 1 billion dollars in the future, with 7 upvotes. I haven't seen anyone here stop and ask, "is BTC worth a billion dollars?" I leave trading to the people who know how to trade. Are you guys even remotely concerned that you may be in a bubble? Have you ever stopped to think, "why am I putting money into this tech? am I just afraid of missing out?" Traders sinking billions of dollars into the dot-com bubble did not. Especially if you're an amateur, check your emotions and don't fucking act like you can predict the future. submitted by /u/LostFarAway [link] [comments]
