Why would the market correct itself? What could possibly cause a crash, short of some kind of catastrophic security vulnerability being discovered, or hostile regulation in one of the core markets?

It was funny to compare Bitcoin to tulips back in 2010. However the Bitcoin ecosystem has now sustained impressive growth—by all metrics—for 8 straight years... I think we are past the "it's tulips" stage.

When someone asks Why would the market correct itself?, the comparison with tulips seems completely appropriate.
