For hacker news I expect people to be a lot smarter but apparently no one in the entire thread realized I said Tulipmania. Not Tulips.

Tulips as a financial instrument were only used for 6 months.

Here's a fucking chart since you can't be bothered to look it up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania#/media/File:Tulip_...

From November 12th through May 1st. Almost exactly 6 months. Period.

Counting anything outside of this period as part of Tulipmania is not only ignorant but also plain stupid at face value.

I'm not one for making hyperbolic statements but when people can't read there's really no other explanation other than: - You lack reading comprehension. - You're below average (hey not everyone is smart, it's okay).

Bitcoin is now on it's FOURTH bubble.

Tulipmania never had a 2nd or 3rd or 4th bubble.
