just like the 90s dot com crash, you have many people who lost money, instead of dot coms its coins, every other day in the 90s a new dot com opened up just like the coins now that comes out

its going to take a new generation of people to invest in crypto. I predict a 4 year bear market where its going to be like this for 4 years. there just isnt enough investors anymore

Don't be too pessimistic, all countries in gradually acknowledged the status of the bitcoin, so in the process of the bear market, most of the altcoin will disappear, but the whole encryption money market bear market will not iu so long

Nobody know. But after dot com crash many companies still alive and work

Woha man don't curse our crypto currency with that crash. That was old days where people did not understand what the heck internet is (in complete manner). The current era completely different and here we have perfect investor base and people are more smarter than 90's period.

I think we do have enough investors left who still have not entered the world of crypto currency as we speak. There are only millions of people into crypto and the total population is above 700 billions. What the hell that's too much people to count on and hence I believe this crash is temporary and until we get more investors on board we will have the perfect sunset with beer bottle in one hand.

No where like it. The crypto people are used to crashes like these and are prepared for it after so many years of facing the bitcoin volatility. We actually await these crashes for they provide a buying opportunity to us.

I don’t think the crypto market is the same as the normal market we have been seeing. Crypto experience dips and recover several times a year. Four years in crypto is too long a period to have bear market.

if you believe that crypto is a baloon like  dot com or tulip than why are you here?
crypto is not a baloon and its not going to crash. who sells bitcoin and alts now they are all going to cry after few years.

You have reason to be so pessimistic, however, it does not seem that you are crossing the line. Still not so bad. I think that this year large institutional investors will enter the market. Recently, on the US stock exchanges, bitcoin futures began to trade. By mid-2018, it is planned to launch futures trading with several more crypto-currencies. This step will positively affect the integration of crypto-currencies into the world economy.

I know some people that sell all own coins and go to Forex. "Forex is stable and give us profit. Unlike crypto" - says they. After dotcom we can see giant company as Apple, FB, other. I think crypto world will be changed but for smart investors now time to make money

new project open but 99.99 % of them are shit

locate the real projects and real dev teams and you will be in the wealthy minority when the turds all fade away with their dreams and talk white papers.

You are entitled to you opinion. One thing you should know is that Blockchain philosophy is not dot com philosophy and the product are not same. Blockchain is the in thing now and real hot.

Lol, I still can not see a crash. The crash happens very quick even at traditional markets, bitcoin`s price now is like in November, a lot of altcoins worth much more than in November.

actually it depends on each person, in my opinion, learn from the experience of the 90s this may indeed happen, but I think the chances are small,

Because all have principles before starting a project to be funded. Surely to achieve such a level requires no short experience, all need a process to search further before investing, with this risk opportunities run out of funds will be reduced

It's funny that people call it crash.
And "2018 crypto crash" is nothing like "1990s dot com crash".

In one way this is like a dot com crash is that people didn't understand internet start ups back in a dat and started putting money in each and every dotcom site driving the price of worthless companies. We have seen the same thing in crypto where many ICOs are raising millions of dollars. Let's see which one survives and who ever hold on to right ones will see a good profit in a future.

I disagree with your notion. Not all the cryptos can be compared to the dot coms opening every day during the end of 1990s. Probably a big part of cryptos indeed like those dot coms, but definitely not all of them. By the way some companies, such as eBay and Amazon, recovered after the crash and even surpassed their stock price peaks during the bubble. The same imo will happen to good cryptos, their price will eventually be higher than during the period from mid December 2017 to mid January 2018.

I do not think so. Too many people have just started to learn about the crypto currency. For example, my neighbor yesterday has started to mine bitcoins. Everything  is just beginning. Many people  don't withdraw money from the cryptocurrency and continue to invest in new ICO projects.

It's nothing like it right now. The dot com crash lasted for many years with many of the companies going bust in that time. Crypto is nowhere near to that just yet. It's entirely possible but it's much too early to say we are already there.


This was the same with the dotcom bubble, people began to talk about it and it was well spread but then it crashed and people thought it was a false coming. They have been proved to be wrong.

Dont panic bro it will give you halucination,go out and watch some movies,go to park and smell good flowers so that you dont worry the market for a while and come back when the market has started to get recovered,do not rush things up the market is fine it is just some pullback because the market has been stabilized for the past few weeks.

This is an interesting comparison, but not necessarily that the events will repeat. We can speak about bubble, but I think that this is a completely different story.

Lol this wasn't the same kind of crash, but okay. You could also compare it to tulips like that fat oldan, but there wouldn't be a point. This is technology that is already changing the world far more than the internet even will. The dot com bubble was because of idiots hyping about something you could do with any domain haha. You can't print more bitcoins though.

I think what is happening now is pure crash not correction etc. I think it will be not hard as dot com bubble, such crash will probably happen when bitcoin reaches prices above $50K.

Dude you are comparing two different technologies,dot.com bubble was caused by many idiots from the past who doesnt know anything about anything but today cryptocurrencise and people has evolveed more aware to what will happen in the future,predictions are too accurate most of the time that is why people wont lose that much compare to the previous internet bubble.

I think it is still usual correction. Also I see that new start ups gather a lot of money during ICO every day. So it is just beginning of blockchain technology development    

Dot com's crash can never be applied to that of Cryptocurrencies. They are two different things and operate on a different basis. Crypto is providing a tangible service and people are beginning to embrace most of it. That the market went down for sometime doesn't mean that everything is about to crash. It will soon build up.

Too many people jumped in thinking this was easy money, rather than researching the coins and being selective. There are good coins out there if you look.

People from the past doesnt have good idea what they are into,people today is getting more aware because we have google that can answer most of the questions today,from the past people really dont have any idea that is why they just based these fact from the rumors or news around the community.Crash would be expected these days because of the high volatility it wont be a suprise.

If so there will be some solid project which can survive, and that sounds not bad all.
Better get rid of bad apples.

many assets have such feature as rising and falling in prices. just look at oil - the price was over $100 and falled under $30. cryptocurrency market is young so such volatility is a common situation.

These are corrections, not crashes.  People have to learn the difference.  A crash is when a price drops to essentialy nothing and the value is lost permanently.  BTC and most everything else that is solid is still way way way higher than it was a year ago.

Yeah, this isn't the same  The underlying technology is more important than the internet. Blockchain changes how transactions work!  I think that on day we will look back and this drop from $20K will be a blip on the radar


 8) 8) 8) 8)

We have very differnt situation from the past,the internet bubble is too small compare to the cryptobubble,but the people are more aware the risk that they taking today unlike from the pastthat people only rely to the rumors,that is why today would be very different because the technology today can give you assurance to the possibilities,we have already google that may answer your questions.

no, blockchain is just starting. its only in infancy stage just wait a couple more years and it will reach its peak and see the price then

Agreed. Now invest ordinary people or enthusiasts who understand and believe in a bright future. And cash bags so far are afraid to invest their money in this niche.

I agree that a crash is always possible, but I disagree that lack of investors can lead o a crash, the dot com crash involved a small niche of people the world is quite smaller now with globalization and better technology that then, so getting investors will never be a problem if you have something good to offer.

You sow panic and confuse people who have just learned about cryptocurrency. You always need to think with your head, to have a plan in case of growth and in case of market decline, but as it became known now to cryptocurrency such large players as Rockefellers and George Soros looked. I hope everyone knows what these people are and what it means for the cryptocurrency market.

I doubt the already begun market of bears, because there was very little capitalization, I think the main growth is still ahead.

It's a bit like the 1990s dot com crash.

People know that crypto is going to be a promising investment, but they cannot accept it yet. So yes, it is going to take a whole new generation, just like internet stocks in the 1990s. But, just like the dot com stocks, I think cryptos will prove its worth in the long run. If you invested at the peak of the dot com bubble into amazon, you still would have gotten over 1000% returns now compared to 20 years back. Unlike stocks, crypto prices does not depend on the revenue that it generates since it's not a security.

I think you're overly bearish, however. I'd say there's going to be a bear market of around 1-2 years, I don't think it's going to be 4 years.

Nonsense. The two events have nothing incoming.

First the crypto did not crash, and second the whole crypto Market Cap is $319,789,617,637, which is nothing compare to the real economy bubbles.

So it is. There was no crash. Just compare the prices today with last year. Nearly all well established cryptocurrencies are still up. It was just a little correction. But the signs for new ups are good as we can assume after G20. Man governments are more positive minded, than against the cryptocurrency technologies.

They are generalizing that the past correction was a crash but they never saw the market last year on how small it is than today. The current pumped that occurred is also a good sign that there are waiting pumps soon and these people who are keep labeling that crash and can't move on until today probably invested the peak and newbies that didn't do analysis before investing. And now most of them are crying because of the so called "crash" that occurred but for investors since last year, we do appreciate this correction and its still a good price.

And you can also see that where Dot Com is now from the crash they recovered same like that Crypto will also recover and we will see the era of crypto soon.

The internet bubble led to the internet that we have today. Bubbles are arguably a necessary component to innovation. I strongly disagree with the view that blockchain is a mirage without any substance.

While the retrace in prices can be seen as a crash or even called one I think it doesn't go well with it then the meaning of an extensive crash as was the dotcom case. The market will boom again at at that time all the sorrows of the dips will be wiped off completely

Dips are a normal thing in cryptoverse. If you haven't tasted it before then you are a newbie. The volatility is the beauty of crypto space so a retrace of this magnitude gives you the opportunity to make more money than you did prior the dip. Goodluck

Yeah this fall in the price is for the time being and with the passage of time it will regain its highest price which was 19000 dollars and it may accede than that. We will have to wait for some time and be patient. Everything will be ok and normal and the investors will be happy with their investment more than they are a few months ago. Gain and lose are part of business.

if this market will exist for at least another 4 years, I am sure that this is the best years of my life in fact

I don't believe that the bearish market will last for 4 years. I think we seem to forget that one thing that is constant is change. It is true that the craze of crypto is just the dot com crash but people are getting to understand the crypto market. Don't underestimate humans that is what i have learned as an experience.

Is this a collapse? It can only be adjusted in the market. A few years ago, at a difficult time, the price of several dollars over, and now is not a collapse.

As someone once said, 'nothing great can ever be built without irrational exuberance'. This comparison has been made by quite a few people, and with the changing face of crypto, i do not see the downside here. The end picture is going to be one that defines the workings of every aspect of our lives, just as the internet today, and birth of Google, floating and flourishing of Amazon etc.,

This is the usual correction or we call it yearly correction now because it happens almost the same time each year. Everything is a cycle because money in people's lives come also in a cycle. Whenever people have extra money they invest, the time when its tough they withdraw. So ypu look at the trend on the previous year it will make you ubderstand why it went down.

I think you are too pessimistic... there are lots of projects that will faill that's true but there are also many that will success and become stronger....

Its nowhere near the same scale. The "crypto winter" has been minor in comparison and will definately recover. I think there will eventually be a big crash of some sort where a lot of shitcoins disappear but its a long way off.

Right now, the total market cap of coins (a ridiculous number in my opinion, and wrong too) is valued at 333 billions.

OP, for your comparison to make sense, we need the same volumes and value, something like Actual Market Cap times 5270.

We have a lot of terrain to gain before even comparing these events, not to mention that the events are totally different and incomparable by their nature.

i don't think the crypto market crash in March the same as dot com crash, because the lost value of the total market is about 300% and there still big buying volumn to hold the market alive.Dot com crash is totally a downtrend line without any recover, so these crashes are difference.

nothing like that ,yall blowing ish out of proportion.i dont think u know the massive effect of dot com crash.

I don't think dot coms and cryptocurrencies correct to compare at this stage. We are still far from their bubble, the cryptocurrency world is only at the very beginning of its path.

Exactly, thank you!

But still, a lot of projects - not only the scam ones, do have similarities with Resource: Wikipedia: Dot-com bubble https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com_bubble
 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com_bubble)
Verge is the most recent example of this https://twitter.com/vergecurrency/status/984987076729999360 (https://twitter.com/vergecurrency/status/984987076729999360).

I think that the main growth of the crypto market will be very soon! New investors come to the market every day, and it has very big prospects in the future. I think soon the crypto market will grow to its maximum and there are many reasons for this.

I understand the prepare for the worst while hope for the best game you trying to play. It is alright but I don't think this market will take that long to recover. Patience is key in a volatile market like crypto. We would all smile again.

this is shortest bear market we see and in the coming time we can see more positive happening in market will react to all positive news in the market this is not crash it is just a correction period

Now it is very difficult to predict and anticipate how the market will behave. All this is decided not by us, but by those who play on a large scale. The very fact of the introduction of blockchain technology on the contrary says that the market will only develop, but this may not apply to coins, for example. I think that bitcoin will at least make it to the moon at least once, but then it will hardly happen, since in real life any kind of asset can not cost as much as bitcoin cost at the end of 2017.

Where there is light there will be darkness. I don't think the bear market needs 4 years. I think it is a bull market before 2020. If the bear is 4 years. Then the cryptocurrency is over.

Impossible, the law of the world, how could you possibly know. Are you a prophet? impossible. The life cycle of cryptocurrency is very fragile. It can't be so many years.

You are entitled to you opinion. One thing you should know is that Blockchain philosophy is not dot com philosophy and the product are not same. Blockchain is the in thing now and real hot.

puff,puff, pass😉

You can not compare these two especially because of two things . First marketcap at 90s crash was around 20 Trillions and now not even 1 , and second at that time mostly only Us institutional investors were in .Now whole world participate in crypto and we have so much space for growth till big crash happens.This crash in january was nothing

When you talk about the crypto market specifically, then you can never expect that the crypto market will keep on rising higher all the time and that there will be no such time when the market value of any of the crypto coin will fall. Looking at the nature of the crypto coins, we will keep on experiencing such sort of situations in the future too and that you to stay patient under such situations.

There are many similarities between this two crash but the result will not be same. However I think that crypto is our future currency and no one can avoid it.

I don't assume that the bearish activity desire extreme betokening 4 2nd childhood. I expect we appear to think of that solitary thing that is unceasing is vary.

No, the crypto market is a sustainable development, unlike other coins, but in my opinion the crypto market is a sustainable market, no reason for them to collapse.

I think a bear market is still going to be around for a while, and then we're going to have a huge bull market.
Don't worry, just hold on. ;D ;D

If the dotcom is the same as crypto bubble, your analysis is very wrong.
Look at the time frames, dotcom bubble took years to build up and years to go down, but the crypto is going at least 5 times faster.

The ups and downs could be the same but the time frame is not!

I will not be so pessimistic... crypto world is faster than dot com and every crash or pump is more fast... I'm quite confident that bear market will finish till the end of 2018.

 You shouldn't be so pessimistic. because now the development of Crypto is very surprising so always positive thinking about it. we must always support Crypto to improve for the future, because I believe in crypto's potential now

Even if the bear market lasts four years, the strongest coins will survive and when the bull market comes, these coins, those who keep coins, will bring very big money.

Here is why this comparison is flawed. Bitcoin or the entire Crypto currency market never reached a marketcap above 1 Trillion. When the dotcom bubble was bursting, the new economy market has reached 10 trillion. We are so early days, we didn‘t even start to cross the casm if that term says something to. Otherwise research it.

Maybe your pessimism will be answered when Bitcoin increases its price again.
And the fact is that investors really have the funds to raise the price.

I hope Bitcoin later this year can increase its price again.

Yes, I very much agree with your point of view. You are a very keen person. Then there will be a mechanism coin to survive successfully. Everything else will die.

Crash Crypto 2018 is not a accident, but I think this is just a coincidence, we all do not know when Crypto will soar and down Karna can be farmable if it is exactly exactly the blocchan is not a new thing.

It depends on the situation. If four years from now, Crypto will soar higher than it seems for sure there are a lot of investors that will invest on it because they can assure the profits that they are waiting for.

I really need many sacrifices and guts to survive the volatility of the market since cryptocurrency's recent bear market is unbearable for many especially the huge loss of the Ethereum. Many investors lost their money because of that.

perhaps it will . but in all times such was . and if people without knowledge lose is normal since there is no easy money . always need to put a little effort in order to achieve a result

They really have some similarities. But I hope that the result of crypto's crash will not be the same like it was in 1990s. It will be very worrying event.

These are not similar situations for a little bit. Crypto is still increasing and 1990's crash was like a great changing that has corrected the future way of development.

It is impossible to compare these events because in reality the cryptocurrency market is only at an early stage of development and has never become significantly large enough to generate so much uncertainty and pessimism. In fact it seems to me positive that this sudden fall has happened so early, because in this way the market will grow at a more natural pace without the great pressure that was beginning to exert the great speculative wave of 2017.

It is true that many people left the market and we need new investors with fresh capital. We do not have to forget that this
bear market has come after a six month parabolic growth of the market end of 2017. For me it is a normal correction , another
market cycle.

It needs a lot of support and the crypto will not growth again easily. remember we are still at the early journey with crypto. Dump will always be happened bu you must know about the big bubble will come after a few years. Crypto is about to get its stability right now.

I wouldn't say so, the dot com crash was one that crashed completely to the ground but with cryptos it has now been the same, yes the price has gone down but it did not completely crash, there is still good prices on the coins and they are doing quite good if you look at it. The fact is that this is just another bear market and with time it will pass
