Ah, how quickly they forget how Boomers went feral over Beanie Babies.

Not really the same, I mean, Beanie Babies actually physically exist and require work to be produced. You could compare it to Labubus, Warhammer figures or collectibles of any kind but NFTs are just peak worthless stupidity with no prior equivalent

Just because beanie babies exist in the real world doesn't make them valuable. The NFT bubble was similar to the beanie babies bubble.
