I really don't understand the whole tulip-bitcoin parallelism.

Bitcoin is like gold, there's a limited supply.
While tulips would be like fiat, you can print (plant) more.

They are coping mechanists that missed the BTC boat and now that a new opportunity arises they are too scared to invest. Their copying mechanism are screaming the obligatory "omg, tulps" or "beannie babiess lol" crap.

How do you think all the coins came into being, if not "printing [mining] more"? 
Bitcoin is being "printed" at a hefty rate of 10% extra coinz per year.
If that's not enough, Bitcoin could be forked to make *any* number of coins.  No harder than [already proposed] fix for 7 transactions per second limit.

Now it is 'hefty' 10% inflation. In 2016 it is a 'hefty' 5%. In 2020 it is a 'hefty' 2.5%'. In 2024 it is a 'hefty' 1.25%.
Inflation wasn't a problem in 2009, nor is it a problem now. It is simply a method of coin distribution.

I could fork the bitcoin blockchain and make a maximum number of coins of 16 million instead. But as you know, no one would mine it or accept it.

You sound like you are giving up NLC. When to buy in? Have I missed the bottom? It is probably eating you up inside because you know the moment has been and passed you by.

If you simultaneously increased block reward, I'm sure the miners would be all over that shit Smiley

Not giving up as much as getting bored.  The price continues to tank, you bulls have long proven yourselves utterly uneducable, & your [once funny but now simply pathetic] antics are just not worth the effort Undecided

Edit:  BTW, new technology is popping up all over.  SR3 is supposedly relying on "I2p anonymous network" (see Fig. 1 for implementation detail), and no longer dealing with BTC exclusively, choosing instead to go  "with several altcoin currencies." Smiley

Bitcoin can be forked to X in the same way that you can fork the IP protocol with no efford.

It would destroy the network because not everyone would accept the fork and people would not be able to communicate with each other
