    Turkey’s currency dropped 83% in the last 5 years and 94% in 10 years (per USD). And by the way: It dropped and did not rise the same amount ever again…

    Why can’t we just agree that different people might have different views whether it’s useful for them?

    Is it more stable compared to USD? No. Is it more stable compared to dozens of other currencies? Yes.

    I think, there are very good arguments against BTC, for example the energy consunption… But whether it’s too risky for you or not… That’s highly subjective IMO. There is no country on this planet with only BTC as official currency. So, no one is forced to hold 100% of their total money in BTC.
