Was there ever an attempt by the Dutch government to regulate the Tulip market during its time like the government is doing to Bitcoin?

Re: "Where are the Tulip barkers?"

In fairness - Tulips did NOT have a 17 year bull market, like Bitcoin did.

On the other hand...

First - why do Bitcoin transactions, recorded in the Block Chain, need to be verified by massive computing power?

Second - what happens when the value of one Bitcoin no longer justifies the huge expense of verifying transactions?

Thanks for asking!
