Bitcoin is dumb and I would give less of a shit if it weren't for the staggering logistics that require it to operate. The amount of power needed for each transaction blows me away and I can't believe that shit hasn't caused the UN to jump on that shit with a giant "NOPE."

I ran a Google search on "tulip bulbs" and got a wiki article about a Dutch thing called "Tulip Mania"? Probably not as cool as Sonic.

Nah its more hit by all the beanie babies and tulip bulbs.
...what?
Bit coin's worth was entirely inflated by people saying it was worth something. I was making a joke about two previous similar fads.
....tulip bulbs?
Basically the first of these fads that we have a good documentation of. A fad in breeding tulips crashing literally sent shockwaves through the whole Western economy

Wow this Tulip Mania thing is actually really cool. I'm sending this idea over to the Extra Credits people to cover it for Extra History. Their South Seas Bubble series was fascinating as shit.

people in real life made millions and millions of dollars from bitcoin though, and they're not gonna lose it, and they're looked at as geniuses so they'll also always have good jobs
If it's a bubble and had a burst I will be all over that. I fucking love financial bubbles and their bursting, especially because in every situation the writing is on the wall early enough to prevent it but people just go "nah."
How... how did people escape college before learning about Tulip Mania? This was common knowledge among my cohort of friends (some of whom haven't graduated high school!) by, like, 10th grade.
Maybe this is why there are so many people of all ages jumping on board the Bitcoin bubble. They don't remember the Housing bubble or the dotcom bubble or Beanie Babies or fucking Tulips... Those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it, and all that.
Kipper und Wipper (German: Kipper- und Wipperzeit, literally "Tipper and See-saw time") is the name given to a financial crisis during the start of the Thirty Years' War (1618–48).[1] Starting around 1621, city-states in the Holy Roman Empire began to heavily debase currency in order to raise revenue for the Thirty Years' War,[2] as effective taxation did not exist.
The name refers to the use of tipping scales to identify not-yet-debased coins, which were then taken out of circulation, melted, mixed with baser metals such as lead, copper or tin, and re-issued. Often the states did not debase their own currency, but instead manufactured low-value imitations of coins from other territories and then spent them in yet other territories as far as possible from their own lands, hoping that the resulting damage would then occur to the economy of those other regions rather than their own. This worked for a while; but after a time, the general public caught on to the manipulation, resulting in pamphlets denouncing the practice, local riots and the refusal of soldiers and mercenaries to fight unless paid in real, non-debased money. Also the states began to get back their own debased coins in taxes and customs fees. Due to these problems the practice largely stopped around 1623; however, the damage done was so large that it created financial disarray in almost all the city-states in the area. The same thing re-occurred on a smaller scale near the end of the century and again during the middle of the 18th century; however, the debasement spread from Germany to Austria, Hungary, Bohemia, and Poland.

yeah
yeah
wait no i forgot they gave him donkey kick
oh each strength of donkey kick does less damage and the same stun as equivalent strength tatsu
and provides a worse knockdown
and is more punishable on block
and has less range
at least ex donkey kick gives you a juggle midscreen!
(wall bounce juggle doesn't work at the corner because ???)
(and I think you only ever juggle with hp dp and nothing else because why would there be any thought or interesting reset options)

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

My Western European history is pretty weak, actually. A lot of that stuff just didn't stick with me. I did a lot of "memorize just for the test" in those courses.

Education in the USA is pretty scattered. A lot of it is focused on trying to promote the USA and how awesome it is.

I thought they had one on that already.
Apparently the ones that sold for the most weren't just regular tulips of rare color. They were actually diseased, which caused a unique look. They died really quickly though.
I read a good book about the history of financial crises. They even talked about the etymology of bubble. It isn't just the idea of massive expansion, although that is probably why it stuck around as a word. It's meaning meant something more like to cheat someone else by tricking them before it was used in financial terms.
and I wonder about my neighbors even though I don't have them
but they're listening to every word I say
It still blows me away that fucking tulips were given value greater than land at some point.
Like, I get it was the 1600s but all you need is a really bad couple of seasons and you're shit out of luck.
Up here there's a place called Apple Hill, which is home to a bunch of orchards, wineries, and the like. It's entire economy is essentially based on apple production.
But about 100 years ago or so it used to be the number one place for pear production. Until a disease wiped out all the pear orchards and everyone lost their ass on it. So they switched to apples.

They remember those more recent bubbles, they just fall into the old "but this time it will be different" trap

...what?
Wait someone tried to make beanie babies currency
I don't think so
People use GPUs or dedicated ASIC rigs
Meltdown slowed CPUs
Someone is basically taking the VODs and uploading them as fast as they can. They'll get things cleaned up as they go.
