No. Just use the word 'tulips', and try to marginalize it like that, instead.
'Tulips' and bitcoin do have their similarities. The major one being the artificial scarcity. And I'm not only talking about the millions of bitcoins that are just sitting there, owned by anonymous holders. I'm talking about the technology and the idea, that bitcoin is based on, and how these things are important. And there is no artificial scarcity with the idea and the technology. Bitcoin and it's unit, is just a fragile brand, without much practical application. It's scarcity is a temporal bubble, caused by the introduction of new financial technologies.
Really?
If what you're saying is true, then why exactly did Tim Draper just drop 18+ million on an asset that he plans to use in development of for said asset building infrastructure through liquidity?
Considering that I respect Tim Draper as an investor, I would guess that he either knowingly purchased 18+ million worth of casino chips, or he somehow needs those coins for specific publicity reasons. If I had to guess again, then I would say, that he probably wants to open his own payment service, what gets it's initial publicity because of it's ties with bitcoin. The beauty of building support services around BTC, is that your business won't depend on the success of BTC. You can quickly adopt new and better cryptocurrencies and continue business as usual when bitcoin becomes obsolete.
Making money with the crypto scene like that, isn't as easy as just opening an account at bitstamp and buying coins, but you sure have more control over your chances of success.
