My first thought was "It couldn't possibly be more boring than I think", then in the article I see it's the more accurate title for the book I read that convinced me of that. tl;dr. Even though Tulipmania might have been an exciting and fascinating event, the actual details of what/why it happened have been lost to history. There are ledgers and letters mentioning tulip prices and do definitely show a bubble. But there's not really any information on why people thought tulips were worth the price they were promising. As with investors today, they generally don't make their motives public, and when they do, you can't necessarily trust them to be honest.
