Though these technologies are similar to other technologies but the one feature which makes them different is trust. With blockchain technology, users do not have to trust on third parties to participate in the network.

Ben Horowitz also compared Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) with the dot-com bubble. According to Ben, all ICOs are not bad but all the bad companies are having ICOs. Like the companies in the 90s which were adding dot com to their names to skyrocket in the market but the companies which were not working towards genuine growth experienced a sell-off. The same thing is happening with some companies these days. Companies are adding blockchain word in their profiles to receive an influx of investors. But in a short period of time, the companies which are not genuinely working on the blockchain technology are falling to their previous price levels.
