It is not the last time we are going to see this sort of thing on the Internet, because, contrary to the overhyped media coverage, "blockchain" is not the revolution; the Internet is the revolution, and things like blockchains, P2P filesharing, the Web, and so forth are just the applications society is experimenting with for a previously inconceivable technology. We are a long way from a steady state and I expect to see this pattern of behavior several more times in my lifetime (by historical standards, we as a society are just starting to understand this technology, and it will be another century or two before society has internalized the Internet).
