True, but something being new doesn't make it more worthy. The subprime lending catastrophe was due to a novel, very popular, idea and people got rich off that as well at first.

Being worthy doesn't really have anything to do with whether something survives the test of time. That's a different, subjective, argument.
You're right. Worthy was a bad choice. I simply meant that doesn't mean it would turn out to be useful or stand the test of time as being a good investment just like how for the vast vast majority of people beanie babies weren't and still aren't either.
