100 satoshis -> ISO code
The recent Bitcoin analysis from big banks BoA and Citi puts this loopy tulip-dude Stilgherrian back into kindergarten.

Greenspan agrees with Stilgherrian, so this proves beyond doubt that Stilgherrian is wrong.

But at least I'd get a tulip out of the bulb even if the value goes to zero...

Bitcoin: It's not just loopy tulip land, it's worse

Summary: Bitcoin's erratic value and irrational cheer squad of speculators are proof this digital currency is unlikely to ever be workable for everyday transactions.

My summary: This guy even looks like personified ignorance.  Roll Eyes

One thing I'd like to comment to all this uninformed tulip bubble verbal diarrhea:

At the height of the tulip bubble, in 1639, 49,000 m² of land has been sold for one of two existing Semper Augustus bulbs, while a single bulb of the Viceroy has been purchased for a basket of goods worth 2,500 florins. Which was more than 16 times the annual income of a skilled worker. Also, getting a pretty house in Amsterdam for a tulip was no problem.

Therefore, comparing Bitocin to the tulip mania makes me smile, as this would mean Bitcoin could easily go to a million!  Cheesy
And the dutch tulip mania was just endemic, while Bitcoin could easily develop into a pandemic "tulip bubble"...

So Bitcoin may indeed be "worse", but only for those who don't have any.
