There are plenty of legitimate reasons to deride Bitcoin but comparing it to tulipmania is really tired and just plain wrong for so, so many reasons. Read up a little on what actually happened during Tulipmania - how many people were effected, and the role of the nascent futures contract and government action/ability to take action.[0][1] Bitcoinmania isn't the same in scale, nor in the underlying fundamentals of the commodity being speculated on, and certainly not in the ability for government to take action.
