Nasdaq bubble popped because people were investing a too much too early, they were anticipating future returns but nowadays Nasdaq has surpassed by far the ath when the bubble popped. It took 15 years to get to the same level, not 17. In 17 it has gone up significantly higher.

Drawing a comparison to ask whether you should be willing to wait 17 years (actually 15) or if you should cash out is drawing a bad comparison in my opinion: Nasdaq is not similar to bitcoin, it is more similar to the whole crypto coin market, if you want to establish the comparison.

Many companies formed Nasdaq, some disappeared, and some new ones appeared after. I think something similar may happen with the crypto world, most of alts we see nowadays will disappear and some new ones may appear.

The problem is we don’t know when. Just because that happened with Nasdaq, doesn’t, at all, mean that it is going to happen with the crypto world soon.

Have you seen World’s stock market cap? It looks much more clearly like a bubble than the bitcoin one.

So, it is good to be aware that we can have downtrends in the market and bear market for years, but not based on comparisons like that one.
