Yup.

Guessing most people here know this already but in case anyone doesn't: DeBeers, the same company responsible for blood diamond mines, stockpiled the majority of the diamond supply over which they had a monopoly in a warehouse to create false scarcity, then used marketing through Hollywood to convince us wedding rings must have diamonds.

Yes that entire "tradition" was invented by marketing.

Like I told my gf: Bitcoin is both rarer and more valuable than diamonds by a huge margin.
