Hi long-gone

Some other fun things: the personal computer - was developed for "fun" by engineers and hobbyists. That's a $trillion market 25 years later

I'm guessing you're concerned about pump-and-dump, irrational exhuberance when the company goes public, and I'd agree w. that, it'll no doubt overshoot wildly. But, whaddya gonna do? People have to learn to evaluate based on reality. The craziness will pump lots more enthusiasm for VC investments, as bad as that can be, it's a "good thing" to generate new risk capital, imo.

We'll see if the dot-com bubble has taught people some caution ...

cheers
