You're the one that tars it with the tulipmania jibe. If you're big enough to make the claim, then you should be big and bold enough to defend your position and tell us in what earthly way tulips were a good store of value or money.Because you say so.
oh dear - more homework to be done. Another wayward term from a number of years ago. Tell me, where are the offices of the masterminds behind this 'ponzi'??....because that's the nature of a ponzi scheme right - its organised and set out as such from the get go.Until the time that it doesn't. This is why I wouldn't recommend it as an investment for the future. It's totally reliant on people pumping up the value through hype. It's the largest ponzi scheme known to man.
Its testament to the nature of people that there are hype cycles where innovation and new tech are concerned. However, in no way do I agree that bitcoin is reliant on 'people pumping up the value'.
