without the aesthetics
This is the worst part. At least with tulips you could get a pretty -if overpriced- flower. Here? nothing you can enjoy -or hate- with your senses. As an aesthetics-freak it offends me.
The tulip bubble was actually trading tulip futures so you might not have even got a pretty flower.

Even the bitcoin people have backed off the "it's an inflation hedge" narrative. They're now pushing it as the foundation for Web 3.0 and metaverse shit. So it's not going away and they're not going to learn any lessons. They're going to keep going on with it because enough actual wealthy people were duped into buying in at the top and they need the value to hit $100k or more. How they get there is turning it into a functional part of something else, legitimizing its use, and basically turning it into an institution.
How dare you, these tulip bulbs I bought will only ever appreciate in value. It is NOT a bubble!
