What's the point of mentioning Bitcoin? Why do people have such an irrational hatred of cryptocurrency?

You're not even correct. Bitcoin value has skyrocketed compared to gold, even if you go back 200 years.

The price has skyrocketed, it’s real value is negative
people like to punctuate stories with topical humor sometimes. it's a joke, not a personal attack
I am sorry about my semi sarcastic comment on bitcoin. I apologize. But bitcoin is portrayed "as a storage of value" and I wanted to show a REAL case where in fact GOLD was a real storage of value 200 years laters.
