Tulipmania- stop the bubble bursting

The collapse of the tulip market in the Netherlands, back in 1637, is widely considered to be the first recorded economic speculative bubble. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to come up with an ATL where the Dutch Tulip Exchange never collapses, and remains in existence in some capacity (a severe gradual decline is allowed, but a total, sharp collapse at any stage has to be averted) to the present day. Is this possible?

I think not. The only way to avoid the bubble to collapse is too avoid the bubble.

Well, I didn't specify the POD, so you could avert the collapse in precisely this manner; perhaps with a POD where the informal, unregulated 'windhandel' trade in tulip contracts at local taverns becomes outlawed or prohibited soon after its establishment in November 1636?
