Replace crypto with nft and I would agree there was a bubble. But crypto is not nfts. Crypto is short for crypto currency, such as btc and eth. I'm not moving the goalposts, you did by lumping in all of blockchain. You seem to agree that I was right.
Bubbles are about capitol investment not a single product. The crypto bubble, like the dot com bubble, are so named because hype inflated the value and when they popped investors (in capitol not crypto currency) lost a lot of money and people lost jobs not because the product went away.
In technologies around crypto, not in crypto. Crypto exchanges like Coinbase that maintained some ethical standards did just fine.
