Alright, any retard on here that doesn't know about the tulip bubble is getting a quick rundown.
Some fuckin idiot brought tulips to Europe back in the 16th century. They didn't have flowers that look like that shit, and after a while everyone got a raging hard-on for them. They became a status item, and everyone in the Netherlands FOMO'd hard. At one point, a single bulb sold for 2500 florins, enough to buy:
Two lasts of wheat 448ƒ
Four lasts of rye 558ƒ
Four fat oxen 480ƒ
Eight fat swine 240ƒ
Twelve fat sheep 120ƒ
Two hogsheads of wine 70ƒ
Four tuns of beer 32ƒ
Two tons of butter 192ƒ
1,000 lb. of cheese 120ƒ
A complete bed 100ƒ
A suit of clothes 80ƒ
A silver drinking cup 60ƒ
Total 2500ƒ
Shit lasted like a year before people realized they were buying fucking flowers for what amounted to a years worth of wagecuck salary, and the bubble popped.
So now lets look at btc
1) btc is not as big of a bubble, if it was we would all be lambo rn.
2) unlike btc, tulips literally had 0 use cases other than speculation. It was a temporary ornament.
3) the btc "bubble" has already lasted exponentially longer than the tulip bubble
4) it was a fucking flower
tl;dr Dimon isn't retarded, he's a crook. It's manipulation. This is nothing remotely like the tulip bubble.

Everyone with a single 1 (ONE) braincell knows this.

they weren't buying tulips, they were buying tulip futures, tulips aren't in bloom during the winter
there was regional instability because of a war which was supposed to upset this

Then post your fucking shorts bitch

You're right. Tulips are a physical good that I can hold. They provide real, if transient, enjoyment. Tulips come in many colors and shapes. Every color and shape can be physically tangible and I can hold them in my hands.
BUTTCOINS ARE ALL IMAGINARY.
Bubble confirmed. SELL SELL SELL!!!
>>
>>3454231
They were trading bulbs, not contracts.

Tulips are just a meme used by good dad bad dad reading baby boomer faggots

>>3454195
I'm sorry your parents circumcised you.
>>
>>3454195
NICE FUD DIPSHIT AHAHA
>>
>>3454195
I already know about flourins from Assassin's Creed. And the tulip thing was in Wallstreet 2. Duh
>>
They were trading futures of the bulbs as well, then the ppl buying the futures would sell them to someone else for profit and so on.
Selling a flower bulb contract for three years down the road

lol nobody read your entire post

I like when they say it's a tulip bubble all over again, it gives me more time to buy to accumulate.

if bitcoin isn't real
how can bubble be real
there is no bubble
>>
>>3454195
False equivalence.
Learn what Bitcoin actually is and try to compare it to a physical good again.
>>
>>3454195
the tulip blockchain was shit though, no surprise it failed.
>>
>>3454380
oh wow I'm retarded and didn't read your entire post OP you literally agreed with me

Took spooky for me man. You're right. I'm just psychotic.

>if bitcoin isn't real how can our bubbles be real
this is going to be my auto response to any anti-crypto shills from now on
>>
>>3454380
a decentralized digital public ledger is far more useful than a tulip kek
>muh real goods
I'm a silverfaggot too. More faith in crypto by far, my physical silver is far too manipulated by paper contracts

Blockchain is a human innovation like the invention of the corporation or double entry accounting. It exists now. And its almost certain to be worth a LOT of money in the future.
That is all.

Someone should make tulipCoin with the explicit purpose that it is going to become irrationally expensive
>>
>>3454472
We already have Bitcoin.
>>
>>3454470
Thats what the normies dont get, we are betting on the technology not the coins themselves. and thats why crypto is valuable. gold is backed by gold, crypto is backed by blockchain. the wealth transfer is happening.
>>
>>3454585
Normies are here for the quick buck. Who can blame them with this 10000% in a short time frame? You dont really think anyone of them cares about the technology behind it, do you? They cannot even explain a shit about blockchain.
>>
>>3454585
But blockchain tech isn't scalable. This is why Bitcoin forked and why there's Segwit and other shit.
>>
>>3454595
just listen to some interviews from vitalik, the guy is not of this earth, the potential of blockchain is greater than just paying one another and he see's that
>>3454596
IOTA is, i forgot what its based upon but its pretty ingenious. is there no way that blockchain could become scaleable for a giant amount of transactions?
>>
>>3454638
IOTA has a handwritten hash function (HUGE fucking rookie mistake) and an "intentional" backdoor written in by the devs.
I like the idea but the behavior of the developers is making me want to not touch it with a 10 foot pole.
