Did the Tulip Mania actually bankrupt the entire Dutch Golden Age? Discover the hidden truth behind history’s first major financial bubble.
In this video, we expose how Tulip Mania became the original “NFT of the 17th century.” From the bizarre tale of a hungry sailor who accidentally ate a fortune thinking it was a common onion, to the overlooked role of the Bubonic Plague and the unregulated “wind trade” (windhandel), we reveal how a moral panic was twisted into an economic myth. Watch how human speculation and crowd psychology repeat themselves centuries later.
