"DeBeers controls the diamond market" is a myth that won't die.
As an aside, I've noticed that circle of people who love chiming in about diamonds tends to paradoxically overlap with the circle of people who think crypto is awesome despite the "vibe" of the two being extremely similar.
I've found it best to just let them rage against their chosen machine.
- Maursault 4y ago> "DeBeers controls the diamond market" is a myth that won't die. DeBeers was a monopoly that wouldn't die for 90 years longer than this upstart myth has existed. Compare to Christmas, come back and comment in 2000 years, and we'll just see if it's really "a myth that won't die." I doubt it'll make it past 2030. You should really be more cautious declaring an eternal myth so prematurely.
