  Is it? The way I see it, it's the consequence of financial regulations, and proves nothing - you can't really compare traditional currencies spanning hundreds of years with one that was there for just a decade.

    Of course I can. In fact, comparing new products with ones that have existed for decades is sort of the DNA of Hacker News.
    • TomMarius 9y ago
      Well, yeah, of course you can, but the comparison is nonsense.
