Given the rise in price,and ensuing media coverage, of the world of the crypto currencies, I thought a poll might be interesting to gauge PH sentiment.

"Tulips" are in the lead at the moment.

A bit more on that grandfather of bubbles if you had never heard of it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulip_mania

Tulip mania, tulipmania, or tulipomania was a period in the Dutch Golden Age during which contract prices for some bulbs of the recently introduced and fashionable tulip reached extraordinarily high levels and then dramatically collapsed in February 1637. It is generally considered the first recorded speculative bubble (or economic bubble).

In Europe, formal futures markets appeared in the Dutch Republic during the 17th century. among the most notable centered on the tulip market, at the height of Tulipmania. At the peak of tulip mania, in February 1637, some single tulip bulbs sold for more than 10 times the annual income of a skilled craftsworker.

I wonder if we see a post-Christmas sizeable surge?

Families get together for the festivities. Little Jimmy tells them all about how much he has made on the Bitcoin this year. Auntie Mable and Uncle Fred decide that maybe they should have a little bit of this crazy-crypto action. Rinse and repeat around the world.

30% down in the last week and a half. Will be interesting to see the post Xmas trading. Just judging by PH, lots of “just take my money” punters nursing some chunky losses.

At the start of this thread is was around $17,000. It touched $19,760 and now it’s around $10,000.

But we’ve all made money, right?
