How is this not considered spam?

This is literally just an ad for a product. It even has the price in the title for crying out loud!

And to top it off, it's posted by an account that I'm pretty sure reported me for spam, because I posted a tech-philosophy essay where the site mentioned at the end that the essay was also published in a zine.

Well, thanks for not incorrectly calling the post spam and downvoting it at least lol

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

Uh oh guys, we got a salty bag holder 😂

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.
