'We're in a Bubble'
Sam HAS to play down the fact that we are in a tech bubble. He is, after all, a venture capitalist, so do note the conflict of interest here.<p>My friend referred me to this Bill Gurley article [1]. My metric for whether there is another bubble is not so sophisticated. I feel that there is a bubble when celebrities (like sports personalities) begin investing in questionable startups [2][3]. Harkens back to the '99 bubble.<p>Edit: Before you bring up Ashton Kutcher, a single data point does not a trend make. But yes, we've been in a bubble long before he began investing actually.<p>[1]: <a href="http://abovethecrowd.com/2014/01/24/on-bubbles/" rel="nofollow">http://abovethecrowd.com/2014/01/24/on-bubbles/</a><p>[2]: <a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/04/kobe-bryant-silicon-valley-tech-bro" rel="nofollow">http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/04/kobe-bryant-silicon-v...</a><p>[3]: <a href="https://e27.co/boxing-champion-manny-pacquiao-throws-his-hat-into-the-startup-ring-invests-in-singapores-gtoken-20160606/" rel="nofollow">https://e27.co/boxing-champion-manny-pacquiao-throws-his-hat...</a>
