Just wait until the AI starts buying up rare tulip bulbs and sparks an investment mania that crashes the Dutch economy.

Millions of hard working Dutch people depend on the tulip system for their retirement. The crash was not due to the management of the tulip market, rather it’s an unavoidable pattern of boom and bust. Given this, it’s only right that the Dutch government to bail out the tulip funds to avoid a breakdown of the liliaceae system.
