> There Never Was a Real Tulip Fever

The article you posted says there was:

"That’s not to say that everything about the story is wrong; merchants really did engage in a frantic tulip trade, and they paid incredibly high prices for some bulbs. And when a number of buyers announced they couldn’t pay the high price previously agreed upon, the market did fall apart and cause a small crisis—but only because it undermined social expectations."


It just says unnamed sources exaggerated it. That doesn't mean it didn't happen.

The second link says this:

"Tulip mania was irrational, the story goes. Tulip mania was a frenzy. Everyone in the Netherlands was involved, from chimney-sweeps to aristocrats."

I've never heard that... "the story goes" and it doesn't mean there wasn't a tulip bubble.

Of course there was.

Never said it would be "replaced"... I said that the market will eventually be flooded. In fact there will be superior types of bitcoins.
