If shitcoins are worthless Bitcoin ripoffs, then cubic zirconia, as exhibit A of crappolite, is just a diamond shitcoin.

What about moisonite
Okay, unpopular opinion: I ADORE moissanite. But you can like the look of moissanite, just the same as you can like the look of Swarovski (if you're blind and stupid). At the end of the day, they're both just worthless, manmade shinies.
Fact: you will purchase moissanite at a small fortune
Also fact: you couldn't sell that same moissanite for pennies on the dollar to anyone else. The value doesn't depreciate: it was only ever imagined in the first place.
Diamonds were already a shitcoin before the advent of infinitely reproducible artificial diamonds.
I'm thankful for cubic zirconia.... It's what my fake tooth is made from
