    A tulip NFT referencing that would be a neat piece of art. Satirizing it's own medium. There's gotta be somebody galaxy brained enough that you could scam a couple bucks off 'em with that.

        The collection of 50 NFTs, launched on Monday, are an explicit tribute to the 16th-century Dutch mania that saw multicolor tulip bulbs sold for massively inflated prices before crashing. At the peak of the bubble, one tulip bulb sold for 20 times the yearly income of a skilled worker, according to the BBC.

        The collection — pitching itself as paying "homage to the investors who risked it all to make a fortune" — sold out on NFT marketplace OpenSea within hours, according to the artist.

        One NFT in the collection sold for as high as 17.5 ether, worth about $55,785 at Wednesday prices.

        :yea:
