The idea is it's not beholden to a government (though still somewhat centralized somewhere). Crypto is helping people in Turkey store value. With current inflation and economic conditions in the US and Europe more may need it in the near future.

How can crypto be a store of value when the market price fluctuates so wildly? Bitcoin, etc fell much more in one day recently than the Turkish lira fell over many months. And one is supposedly using Bitcoin to avoid inflation in the lira?

  You can save in USDT for what it's worth.

    s/USDT/DAI, please. Or sUSD from Synthetix, or EURS if you want to hold euros. Or GBPP if you want to hold GBP. Anything but USDT. USDT is poison.

      Yeah I was just using it as an example.

        Ok, got it. It's not that I want to pick on you, just that we should use Tether and USDT as an example only when we are talking about scumbags who contribute to make the whole crypto community look like irresponsible frauds.
