Kerner Compares Crypto Slump to Dot Com Crash
Venture capital firm CryptoOracle partner Lou Kerner, in an interview with CNBC stated that the current cryptocurrency market slump could be compared to the Dot Com crash that took place in the early 2000s. On the Worldwide Exchange show, Kerner said that the stronger coins should be viewed like the technology companies that survived the Dot Com crash.
Kerner gave the example of Amazon.com, saying that the online retail giant, which today is one of the greatest companies ever created, lost 95% of its market value for over 2 years before it began the process of recovery. Today, Amazon.com is only the second American company to reach a market valuation of $1 trillion.
