>>The markets did, rather quickly, correct themselves with regards to tulips.

Quickly is subjective... I don't believe several years, according to some historians, is "quickly" considering if you were affected by it.

Also "seems to be pretty reasonable" means it's just your opinion.

You're also very high strung and on the offensive for bitcoin. This is not how you would sell an idea and a huge warning sign of your view being very skewed and not objective when it comes to the matter of bitcoin.

Quickly and pretty reasonable are both subjective, yes. In the context of several hundred years of tulip history, though, I'm happily confident that a 1 year bubble is "quick." You're free to disagree.

Calling me high strung/on the offensive/skewed though is a bit of an argumentum ad hominem and thus irrelevant. My argument would not be affected at all even if I were foaming at the mouth and wearing a sweater woven out of paper wallets.
