What are the similarities and differences between the current Blockchain boom and Internet boom back in late 90's.
My guess, blockchain protocols (i.e. Bitcoin, ETH, Bitshare, WAVES) will grow faster than the combined value of the applications built on top it. This is big change from the previous internet boom where investing in applications (i.e. Facebook, Ebay, Linkedin, ...etc) produced high returns whereas investing directly in protocol (i.e. TCP/IP, HTTP, SMTP) technologies generally produced low returns.
Agree or disagree? let me know your thoughts
I don't know. It seems like this particular wave has lasted a lot longer with a lot more energy behind it than the internet boom. Obviously the internet hasn't gone anywhere, but each change in the internet and each new technology led to a new boom, which transfer the energy from that last boom, to the next. Whereas, the cryptocurrency world is more isolated so all of that energy has remained within that one system.
