During the 1600s people were dying for these bulbs. Flower shops started popping up everywhere just like miners today. If the gov't ever start legalizing gambling and drugs, isn't bitcoin/ alternate coin just absolutely doomed to death?
I mean, BTC gained momentum because it is a better system than fiat and easier to carry around than commodities, however, if the gov't fall and a better regime takes over, isn't bitcoin just doomed to death as well?
Starting to look more and more like Tulipmania to me...

Did you ever get to plant any bitcoins? What do they smell like?
