Yes it’s like the 1999 dotcom bubble but worse.

Don’t worry though, soon it will be 2001. All the tourists will go home and the real work will continue.

Just today I discovered Bram Cohen is actually working on a new crypto-currency in a company [0] he has setup. It should be interesting to see if he can create a better crypto that doesn't have all problems that he currently sees in Bitcoin and others. He's currently looking for devs with good algorithmic skills to join his company.

Last I heard he was talking about proof of storage, which seems like it has the potential to do for hard drive prices what the others have done for graphics cards!
