If you think this is the correct analogy then you'll have to blame your teachers for failing in teaching you logic as this will be precisely the reason why you end up living out of a cardboard box.

There are analogies... that ain't the right one.

Would you be kind enough to enlighten us and teach us the analogy that will perfectly fit this situation, please?

Newbie is a retard who started trading this year and Lost his money cuz he's an idiot and a bad trader, and now says bitcoin is dead on the long term. I wouldn't expect any enlightening from someone that short sighted.

You can keep making the absurd comparation with tulips vs a solid, legit technological revolution that disrupts the global psyche as personal computers and the internet did. You can keep making all these stupid quotes that will be saved to mock you in the future just like these IBM morons when you remember how they said no one wanted a PC or internet or portable phones. Just lol.

Ah yes the good old tulip comparison..  Well that's it I'm selling all my coins because you compared Bitcoin and innovative technology that makes transactions with a middleman obsolete), to the tulip craze that happened hundreds of years ago.

 Also the comparison has little to know basis except for the fact that ignorant people can't grasp the Bitcoin is very useful and valuable.

Tulip bulbs has little practical use apart from being looked at. You can use BTC to buy things.

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?  Cheesy Wink

You could use tulips too, at one point of time.

See my signature.

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.
