Thanks. I was going to go to sleep soon but now I will not.
Why don't people relate bitcoin to Furbies? It's always tulips or Beanie Babies. Crypto is much more like furbies.

Few people are willing to rehash old discussions - so few people want to discuss why Bitcoin is/isn’t like tulips.
Society at large is wildly different than the discussions from here on HN, but at least here, discussions about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, tend to generate very large discussions, lots of them are about why cryptocurrencies is/isn't like tuplips/beanie babies/$hyped item.
Either you’re joking, or you absolutely didn’t live through the late 90’s to see the sheer insanity of what the Furby craze was really like. Furbies would be resold for hundreds of dollars, absolutely no exaggeration. It was mind boggling.
I remember Furbys being a punchline on late night TV and such. But I didn't know there was a craze and a shortage.
Of course, those were my college years, and didn't have many young kids in my life... so I guess I didn't know what was popular with them!
