> there's barely been a pickup in the dissent

Many people who were wrong about the dot-com bubble still think they were right. Some external agent just screwed them.

People don't tend to change their views about stuff like cryptocurrencies. The best we can expect is a wealth transfer to saner minds.

There was only 1 dotcom bubble. Which crypto bubble are you referring to? Because there seems to be one every 2 years and every time you hear the same talk about the bubble is over, it's all worthless, etc and yet it recovers, surpasses, and diminished previous highs.
