False equivalence is a logical fallacy which describes a situation where there is a logical and apparent equivalence, but when in fact there is none.

"When he first stumbled on to bitcoin in 2011, it didn’t grab him (Vitalik). “I ignored it,” he says. “I thought it had no intrinsic value, so it had to fail.”  Then, in 2013, just as he was about to lose interest in the thing, the price of bitcoin skyrocketed."
