spce Proves History Rhymes: Retail Mania Mirrors Dutch Tulip Craze of 1637
In a chilling echo of the 17th-century "Tulip Mania," the sudden speculative frenzy over the ticker spce is drawing stark comparisons from market historians to the moment Dutch traders began paying fortunes for single tulip bulbs. Just as those bulbs became worthless virtually overnight, today's retail investors are piling into spce with the same feverish logic that once drove a single bulb to trade for the price of a luxurious Amsterdam canal house. The pattern is unmistakable: a speculative bubble inflated by FOMO, media hype, and a collective suspension of disbelief, followed by a catastrophic pop that leaves latecomers holding the bag.
