Several hundred years after the tulip mania, tulip bulbs are still actually worth something. They have intrinsic value.
Yeah especially the ones purchased in 1600, these are very precious now! Oh wait you are talking about some other tulip bulbs, not the ones purchased in 1600, because the intrinsic value of these went down the decay hole like several years after they were purchased. So your hypothetical value, invested in tulips in 1600 is now worth precisely zero.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, is much more resistant to decay than even gold. The first money with practically indestructible units.
