It is like a cult.
Yes, it is. One revisits Europe's "tulip mania" -- a period of some years of massive speculation in which many lost much. Wiki speaks of it, "generally considered to have been the first recorded speculative bubble or asset bubble in history." Gre-e-e-e-n today is a mania, a mania driven by the speculators. Some will profit, and most will lose. In the end.
