Tulip mania is a fun story/symbolism but was not real
The popular story references a single bulb becoming the most expensive item in the world, but that reporting has been debunked as coming from a satirical pamphlet, not actual records.
Modern historians say there was some speculative trading in tulips but all in futures contracts that were unfulfilled, so it had almost no impact on the economy.
It does make for a great story: people succumbing to greed, paying absurd prices for flowers, and learning a hard lesson... and fits a broader cultural narrative that people love to apply to crypto, though it doesn't really fit - tulips degrade and you can make more of them, etc etc etc.
