An ETF analyst just threw cold water on the "Bitcoin is tulips" crowd.



Eric Balchunas points out something critics conveniently ignore: BTC has been around for 17 years now. Tulip mania? Collapsed in three.

Here's the kicker—Bitcoin weathered seven massive crashes and still clawed back to fresh all-time highs each time. That's not exactly fragile bubble behavior.

Balchunas figures some folks just despise crypto and trot out the tulip comparison to get under believers' skin. But the numbers don't lie. Seventeen years of survival tends to shred that narrative pretty fast.
BTC-1.1%

Surviving 17 years and still reaching ATH, this survivorship data indeed proves people wrong... But honestly, the real arbitrage opportunities have long been exploited by mempool monitoring bots. Now, those entering the market should actually worry about the costs of gas wars.

All the tulip comparisons should just stop. Bitcoin has been around for 17 years and is still hitting new highs, while tulips crashed in just three years. There’s something wrong with that logic, everyone.

Damn, someone finally called out this analogy... Surviving from 2017 until now is no joke.
