Because they have a massive building on Threadneedle street, and 400 years history of conjoring money out of thin air and honouring their promises to pay the bearer. What they say is important, and gets top billing on the news. You're pissing in the wind if you think this tulip is going to take over. Now you might well make a boat load of money (proper fiat currency) out of betting on the right horse, that's a different matter. Good luck with it. -
