Tulips. There is no value here. Just a hope someone will buy it.

But I do wish I bought some.

The US dollar will be pushing daisies soon, so tulips seem like a reasonable alternative.

And buying it they are. But like you, I see no real value there. Just one gigantic bubble waiting to burst.

But when you stop to think about it, that holds true for just about anything, including precious metals. Perception defines value just as much as anything else.

like tulips, except for the supply is limited, and new circulation/coins are tied to confirming transactions and maintenance of the ledger; no physical degradation is possible (unlike tulips); and it has an open source software platform built on top of it (ehtereum) which has many uses already related to decentralizing finance (ie, getting rid of predator banks).

other than that.....exactly like tulips. :)
