They don't need to read about tulip / dot-com bubbles in every single thread. It's not as if this viewpoint is novel, or some kind of secret. We get it.
> You do realize that economic bubbles rise and fall in the span of years, right?
Yes. And everyone making these bubble / tulip comparisons should acknowledge how the view is unfalsifiable.
- andrewmcwatters 9y agoYeah, people get it; which is why people are talking about it in the first place, how dense can you be?
- moduspol 9y agoWe don't need it in every thread. Cryptocurrencies and blockchains are significant technological innovations. There is more to discuss than making the same tired tulip comparisons.
- spookthesunset 9y ago> Cryptocurrencies and blockchains are significant technological innovations. Hardly. The Blockchain uses the same kind of underpinnings as git. In fact, for many applications git might even be a better data store than The Blockchain--it doesn't require a bajillion miners consuming several hydroelectric dams worth of power to stay online.
