When thinking about bubbles, I like to turn the question around and ask myself: Is it possible to grow for many years without any bubbles?

I would say no. And that is why while I suspect what we're in is no where near as big as the .COM bubble was, the road ahead is also not smooth. But then gain, ups and downs are also nothing new or worth worrying much about.

The very early stages of .com 2.0 produced some of my favorite startups. And the most optimistic part of me is curious about what great things will rise form the ashes of this/next bubble.
