You can say these things, but the real lack of value is in your words. Reality is at odds with your opinion.

Are you familiar with the great Tulip bubble?

"Reality" (meaning what large numbers of people wish to believe) was also at odds with the opinions of sane people at the time.

But guess who turned out to be right in the end?

Bit coins are worth nothing. They are just a vehicle for conning stupid "get rich quick" people.

Of course. Bitcoin haters have been using that canard since at least 2017 when I first saw it, so you're about 7 years too late to appear clever or insightful.

It lasted about a year.

We're 15 years into the Bitcoin age, and nothing any hater has predicted has come to pass.

At what point will the ignorant crowd quit using this dumb analogy? I predict never, because anyone who uses the word 'tulip' in any Bitcoin discussion proves that they know nothing about the technology or the utility.

But guess who turned out to be right in the end?

And when will you be proven right? Are you giving a prediction and a time horizon? Because you're not doing too well at this point. The biggest financial institutions in the world have endorsed it and it's recognized as a form of payment in almost developed country. It's the 10th most valued asset in the world, probably soon to be 8th.

Bit coins are worth nothing. They are just a vehicle for conning stupid "get rich quick" people.

Bitcoin (there is no such things as Bit coins) is worth around $60k per Bitcoin on any open exchange. Again, reality is at odds with your opinion.
