Huh? This is a link to an essay, unless I'm entirely missing something

Hey look, I wasn't the one that wrote this:

"E.g. for people in Turkey, it’s a lot more stable than their own currency. Same logic for probably dozens of other countries…"

Is the "dozens of other countries" statement something you no longer stand behind, or are you done being rude?

So the argument is no longer "Bitcoin provides stability" or whatever, but instead is, "it's no more unstable than the world's most unstable national currency"?

Turns out you're right, BTC price only went down 77% from the 2021 peak, my mistake /s

Thanks. Although to be honest I'm not sure what their edit was - does Lemmy not have a way to view a post's edit history?? Seems like a problem...

Bitcoin regularly loses 85% of its "value" vs USD

85%

This has happened multiple times

Bitcoin's "value" in USD terms has dropped ~20% in the last few days, so I'm not sure we can call it 'stable'

This is like saying "laws aren't always enforced equally, so we should have no laws whatsoever". Bitcoin is not a helpful response.

normalizing scams, by laundering their image via standards organizations, pollutes our communications environment. Both an emoji and a petition are symbolic - and our symbols are in fact important.

I've said it before and I'll say it again:

True bitcoiners 🤝 no-coiners "Bitcoin should be illegal"
