Three things:

1. Bitcoin has good utility value as a currency. You can transfer it to anywhere on the planet, it's decentralized and has a monetary base cap. Tulips are de-cetnralized at best, but are otherwise quite a bad currency.

2. The tulip mania lasted only one season. It went up, peaked and then crashed. Bitcoin is closing it's fifth season and it had several major dips of which it came out stronger than it was before. Absolutely no similarity here.

3. This is getting old. Come up with something new please, will ya?
