      That seems like a more pragmatic way to hoard wealth than NFTs or stock options or whatever.

        Diamonds are as artificially inflated as stocks. NFTs are no longer artificially inflated, they’re correctly recognized as worthless.

            I’ve seen some sentiment (artificial, I’m sure) that artificial diamonds are “too perfect,” but I don’t think it’s really catching on. It definitely seems like Gen X is the last generation to really care about expensive diamonds, which is good.

              They are “too perfect” in the sense that they – in contrast to all the kinks “natural” diamonds have – are virtually flawless and obviously threatening established luxury industries (which is kinda based NGL)
