Video Overview
Script: Imagine a flower so captivating it could crash an economy. In the 1600s, tulips became a symbol of wealth in the Dutch Golden Age. As their popularity soared, people traded them like gold, driving prices to dizzying heights. Speculators mortgaged homes for a single bulb, believing the value would never fall. But like all bubbles, this one burst. Overnight, fortunes vanished, leaving chaos in its wake. Today, tulips bloom peacefully, a reminder of beauty’s power to sway minds and markets.
