Uh-oh, scraping the barrel already, are we?  I figure it's always a sign of last resort and desperation when someone rolls out the Tulips spiel.  Have you really got nothing better?

Last time I checked, plants don't allow you to send value to anywhere on earth in a censorship-resistant fashion.  Speculators may succumb to "mania" from time to time, but they most certainly aren't the sole consideration and you keep forgetting that.  Seemingly deliberately.  Perhaps all the genuine users of BTC are a tad inconvenient for your narrative?
