I think collectable Cabbage Patch Dolls are a bit different to a decentralized currency. Bitcoin will very likely go up and down for quite some time but I think it has a long life ahead of it and the potential for big gains is still huge.
The Cabbage Patch Dolls operation
is still in business. They operate "Babyland General Hospital", where the babies come from. There are tours, fake nurses and doctors, and lots of baby stuff. Cabbage Patch Kids has been running since 1978, decades longer than Bitcoin.
It's a lot like Bitcoin. You have to
believe.
