There is one big difference between tech bubble and bitcoin -- a huge amount of population participated in tech bubble. That's not the case for bitcoin.
Having said that, I might agree if we're talking about ICO market being a bubble. I think there are a lot of ICOs these days that look like pure scams. A lot of them are pump and dump coins we have to guard ourselves against... However when it comes to the oldest coins like BTC or LTC, I don't really think they're in a bubble.

David Ader, chief macro strategist at Informa Financial Intelligence, shows how bitcoin's gains resemble that of the Nasdaq Telecommunications Index before the tech bubble burst. Bitcoin has gained nearly 400 percent this year, helped by increased interest from institutional investors.
However, digital currency expert Chris Burniske points out the market value of bitcoin is still a fraction of what stocks were during the dot-com boom.

Comparing Bitcoin to other bubbles (Tulip, Tech bubble, etc) seems to be the flavour of the season.
