Lira is the fiat currency of Turkey which is facing a sharp decline in it's value. The rise of inflation in Turkey has dumped the value of Lira.
With an inflation rate of about 20% - 25% the price of Lira has declined about 45% this year with a peak dump of about 20% in a week and 15% in a day.
Those numbers are high enough and causing a panic in the market. The media also say that it might be at the edge of hyperinflation in Turkey.
This has caused a rise in the price of bitcoin in Turkey. People are opting to use bitcoin when the fiat currency is falling sharply.
The inflation has influenced so much that the president of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has announced a crypto law that will soon be shared with the Parliament.
This means crypto will soon be legalized in Turkey. I think it's a good decision and will help Turkey fight inflation well.
You could take any currency in the world and you would see they have lost the purchasing power a lot and the government doesn't want you to do debate on such topics.Most of the countries like USA and Britain have similar situations even if they are first class countries but the conditions are somewhat similar to inflation because they have printed so much notes making it worth less in the current times.The main problem is hyperinflation have been witnessed in some poor countries like Venezuela where they have million dollar notes also which could not buy you a even toilet paper also so what's the fun of this type of Fiat?
You have said about Turkish lava and the condition for them is the same or say they are leading to the even worse conditions.
The lira tumbled to as low as 13.45 to the dollar, plumbing record troughs for an 11th straight session. It has lost 45% of its value this year, including a near 26% decline since the beginning of last week.
See how it has reduced in value over 45% only this year and 26% this week only which Clearly indicates the high rate of inflation in the country and to my surprise the inflation rate is around 20% in Turkey which is far more than many other countries.
The lira has been by far the worst performer globally this year due mostly to what some analysts have called a premature economic "experiment" by the president who has ruled Turkey for nearly two decades.
According to reports it is worst performing currency this year on global levels and the thing's are not going to improve soon for them as well and bitcoin could help them to pave out some way out of this inflation ocean but still wonder whether they will go for it or not.
