Want to recognize a (bitcoin) bubble? It's easy....

Want to recognize a bubble?   Just think back to '99 dotcom stocks or '07 real estate
When Floyd Mayweather and Paris Hilton are promoting ICOs that is a textbook sign of a bubble.
When people quit their jobs, en masse, to trade ICOs, that is a sign of a bubble.
When people take out loans to buy as much ICO as possible, that is a sign of a bubble.
When there are TV shows and magazine covers about ICOs, that is a sign of a bubble.
When the shoeshine boy tells you about his ICO portfolio, that is a sign of the top.

And all of that is a sign of a ICO bubble that no one in his right mind disputes over here. But it really has little to do with Bitcoin. ICO is like a dot com bubble, but Bitcoin is like Internet itself and we all know that Internet never went down.

Not similar.

This just means they do anything as long as they're paid.

When people quit their jobs, en masse, to trade ICOs, that is a sign of a bubble.

This isn't sign of a bubble, but sign of stupidity in my opinion Hope nobody did this.

When there are TV shows and magazine covers about ICOs, that is a sign of a bubble.

No, just sign that they're getting paid and are willing to do anything when paid.

Sorry, but if we're in a bubble, these don't seem to be the reasons.

Don't you mean Bitcoin is the Geocities of ICO,
and Blockchain is the internet itself (TCP/IP)

No. From a technical point, sure, that makes more sense of course, since Bitcoin is an application of the blockchain technology. But we are comparing it on an economical level and there it is like Internet itself.

Internet isn't just technology, it is a network as well, you could theoretically split Internet in two. It wasn't just that technology survived the dot com bubble, it is the network itself that survived as well. No one created another Internet after the dot com bubble, there was no need. Same for Bitcoin, it is just that on a technical point of view these things are split in Bitcoin, technology and the network, but the same economical rules apply.
