Ambergris = #BTC

Utility: low to moderate (slow, expensive for everyday payments)

Price driver: extreme scarcity + prestige + unbreakable social consensus

→ A scarce, luxurious piece of shit that barely gets used but is valued at $100k+ per coin

- Chicken manure = #Xrp🔥🔥 #xlm / HBAR /

Utility: extremely high (fast, cheap, already moving billions–trillions in real volume daily)

Price driver: abundant or inflating supply + boring “infrastructure” narrative + zero prestige

→ A massively useful pile of shit that gets spread everywhere but still trades for pennies or a couple bucks

Both started as waste.

One aged into the perfume of kings because almost no one can make more of it and everyone agrees it’s rare.

The other became the fertilizer of global finance because anyone can shovel as much as they want.

Same origin story, completely opposite outcomes—purely because of scarcity and story, not utility.
