I'm not following, nowhere in that article does it say there was no boom/bust of tulips.

The article states 1) it was a boom/bust and 2) the boom/bust was caused by government regulation.

It states that Tulipmania was a rational response to anticipated government regulation that would let investors cancel their futures contracts for only a small fee.
