I think you missed the point I was trying to make; I was mentioning that OP has made a too broad of a statement which could apply to any successful technology too.

I wasn't trying to make any comparisons, since these are two very different situations.

I think you were unclear - I also thought you were saying that bitcoin was like the successful tech you mentioned.

Thanks for pointing it out. Comparing the current bitcoin space to the '99 internet is a common so I should have been more clear. I think that the comparison to the 70s internet is better, but that doesn't work that well to explain current valuations.
