The recent stock market crash has reignited discussions about a potential ‘dot-com 2.0’ scenario. This terminology references the early 2000s market crash driven by internet companies.
“If the Nasdaq is down 20%, Bitcoin will be about $65K. But if the Nasdaq goes into a bear market, history shows that the decline will be much larger. Following the bursting of the Dot-com bubble, it fell almost 80%. During the 2008 GFC, it fell 55%, and during the COVID crash in 2020, it fell about 30%.”
