Did you know that during the 17th century, tulips were more valuable than gold in the Netherlands? Tulip mania took over the country, with people trading everything from houses to livestock for a single bulb. This frenzy made tulips a symbol of status and wealth. Eventually, prices crashed, leading to what many consider the first economic bubble. This fascinating episode reminds us how economic trends and human behavior can intertwine in surprising ways! 🌷✨
