I totally think it's an apples to oranges comparison, although equally I think it's the same thing all over again. The nature of crypto and the dot com bubble is that they are both pretty incomparable events. They are points in time (Potentially, in crypto's case, although it's hard to see any other outcome) that will change the way we love our every day lives.
As such you have the strange notion of combining investments with the mainstream, a sure fire recipe for disaster?! As you've pointed out, plenty of companies made it through the dot com bubble, and I'm guessing that the same people who's stop losses triggered huge shifts in the dot com market would kill to get those Microsoft or Apple shares back at the same prices!
Right now I'm just excited to see where this takes us all, and society on the whole!
