While I tend to agree with this comment, look at the world 17 years after the .com bubble burst. Amazon (founded in 1994) and Google (founded in 1998) absolutely dominate their categories, and the Internet has drastically changed virtually every sector of the economy that it touches.

Just like the .com mania, I think there will be a huge fallout when the bubble bursts. But I also think there will be a couple dominant winners to rise from that rubble, and blockchains and cryptocurrencies will have a strong impact in future payment systems.

So what are the most optimistic projections of where blockchain and cryptocurrency could take us? How about the most pessimistic? Presumably, the likely outcome is somewhere in the middle. What would that look like, say, 20 years from now?

The same goes for this comment.

It's worse but it hasn't reached its peak yet. And I'm sure the peak will be even higher than dotcom.... Kind of fun to watch

Right! So get in on the ground floor of this amazing opportunity! /s
