Can you deny it? Everyone who has brought in the last year has lost money.
Seriously, people don't understand 'tulip mania'
Mostly like SHIT-COIN's today,
There were very valuable 'bulbs' that rich people traded, who loved the flowers, and these bulbs were invaluable, not unlike 'real gold'.
But what happened was that 'morons' were taught that ordinairy onions were also the same as these 'bulbs', and thus onions were traded at the markets as 'tulip bulbs',
So I guess you could compare bitcoin and the shitcoin ( clones ) where BTC is the real 'tulip bulb', and the shitcoins are the onions that morons were trading
Eventually the mania ( for the public ) ended, but the rich kept on collecting exotic tulips,
The fact is that most of the 'public' never even saw a real tulip, they were just SOLD garbage, not unlike ICO's and shitcoin of today, the gardens of the rich, were never seen by the morons, they were private gardens of the most rich people in Europe.
Not unlike of when our morons here talk of 'whales'
Lastly, BITCOIN is also a shitcoin, she is the mother of +2100 shitcoins, only a mother can love her shitty offspring.
