For the tulip holders of the time, it must have been really tough keeping those super-expensive tulips healthy... They would have to water them regularly and protect them, and even feed them nutrients. Must have been really stressful for them.
Is crypto dead?

Yes, and I like it that way! See reply above. BTC is really just some numbers with rare properties, not something organic and alive, no need to water or feed your coins. A TREZOR does all the work. Just HoDL!
