The only difference is with Tulip bulbs you had something tangible. With Bitcoin you get 7 Tx/s and you are screwed-a-roo.
I don't know if you mean the shitty altcoins you promote and your scams are more tangible?
Bitcoin certainly has nothing to do with tulips or your scams. As a means of payment in terms of speed, as you point out, it is not the best, but that is what second layer solutions are for. Otherwise, it is the best invention for storing and transferring wealth.
