People keep comparing BTC to the Tulip Bubble, but that's missing the whole point. Tulips had zero utility beyond speculation—Bitcoin's got a fixed supply, global settlement network, and institutional adoption that wasn't even imaginable back in the 1600s. The fundamentals aren't even in the same universe.

Alright, finally someone explained it thoroughly. I'm tired of hearing this comparison over and over again.

Annoyed, every time people bring up tulips, it's really so irritating.

I really can't be bothered to criticize those who keep bringing up tulips. They're completely different things. What exactly do you think Bitcoin is for? Could tulips be used for cross-border settlements? Can institutions use them for asset allocation? They're two totally separate matters.
