They should've been called TMAs - Throwing Money Away. If you can't trust the system that processes it, the durability of it, the exchanges, or it lacking any intrinsic liquidation value, then it's TMA.

I've heard a similar phrase in the antique trade, "Old stuff, found new money"
An old dresser is still often useful as a dresser.
It is for sure. If the price matched "an old dresser" I would probably buy it too. If that old dresser costs $12k because it was made during the great depression then I will let someone else buy it.
