All the signs were there for everyone to see in the 2000 Dotcom Dotbomb. The root problem was a bunch of investors wildly investing in crappy tech companies, like tinder for cats. There were toxic assets, huge and publicly visible waste, low product output.

This time, there is a lot more growth from many companies but we also see the results of that work, products and services exist as a result. There is waste but not like in 2000.




It wasn’t tinder for cats. It was pets.com that was the poster child.
