Don't remind me again today

When traditional currencies lose their grip, people find new anchors. Nations wrestling with runaway inflation are turning to crypto in droves.



Take Turkey. Inflation hovering around 32%, and what happens? A staggering $200 billion in crypto transactions between July 2024 and June 2025. That's not speculation—that's survival instinct.

Argentina tells a similar story. Nearly $94 billion in crypto volume over the same period. Citizens aren't gambling; they're protecting what's left of their purchasing power.

The pattern is unmistakable. When fiat currencies burn through value like paper in a fire, digital assets become the fireproof vault. These aren't emerging markets experimenting with blockchain. These are economies where crypto has evolved from curiosity to necessity.

The numbers don't lie. People vote with their wallets, and right now, they're voting for decentralization.

This wave from Turkey to Argentina is really amazing. With an inflation rate of 32%, there are still people saying that crypto is speculation? That's called survival, bro.

The 20 billion volume in Turkey is really impressive, this is forced... What can we do when the money in our hands is devaluing?

The numbers in Turkey and Argentina are really crazy... But then again, this is what happens when fiat is messed up.

Turkey's 32% inflation rate is really something, a 200 billion volume of encryption transactions is not investment enthusiasm, it's just a stark reality of survival... Argentina is the same, this is reality.

Turkey's 32% inflation and transferring 200 billion USD to crypto, this really is no longer an investment choice, it's purely being forced...

Turkey's $200 billion in and out, the Whale Address behind this number must be outrageous... Need to dig into the on-chain data. Always keeping an eye on the capital flow to Argentina, how come there are no Large Investors' unusual movements with a volume of 9.4 billion? Very suspicious. Inflation at 32% and they dare to say it's a survival instinct? I think it's more about institutions stirring things up in the background, and retail investors being forced to enter a position. Wait... Why are the trading volumes of Turkey and Argentina so aligned? I suspect someone is manipulating the narrative of this report.

The data from Turkey and Argentina is really not speculation, it's about survival... Who would dare to touch fiat with 32% inflation?

The data from Turkey and Argentina is truly astonishing; the inflation is driving people crazy, and the rush into the crypto world is so real. --- With a 32% inflation rate... Oh my, if I were there, I would have all in by now. --- That's why it's said that the crypto world is not just speculation; in some places, it's truly a necessity for survival. --- With over 200 billion in volume... This isn't just retail investor speculation; it's essentially a collective fight for survival. --- People only understand the value of Decentralization when fiat collapses; those who still don't get it can just wait.

Laughing to death, Turkey and Argentina's recent moves are basically the crypto world version of "My Wallet is on Fire". --- A 32% inflation rate, my friend. This is no longer a gambler's mentality; they are purely being forced onto the stage. --- The Renminbi is doing okay, but poor citizens of Turkey and Argentina can't even trust fiat; this is the true portrayal of crypto. --- Wake up everyone, this is not a bull run; this is a bail-in conference under inflation, and the crypto world finally has legitimate reasons. --- The two countries combined have nearly 30 billion in volume, which is even more than the annual financing of some altcoin project parties, haha. --- I calculated that their choices are actually telling us a truth: rotten vegetables can't be stir-fried to new heights. --- However, to be fair, an economic collapse is truly the best marketing for crypto; it's more effective than how much Binance spends on ads.

The inflation in Turkey is 32%, and they are still pouring 200B into crypto. This is no longer an investment; it's just about surviving, brother. --- Argentina has a trading volume of 94B... emmm, to put it bluntly, the fiat currency is already dead, and there's no other way out. --- Every time I see such data, I feel it's ironic; people have to wait until the economy collapses to realize the necessity of Decentralization. --- Speaking of which, if your money is depreciating like paper, you would also turn to crypto, right... nothing more to say. --- Really, this is the true use case of crypto, not some DeFi yield farming tricks. --- A 32% inflation rate, my goodness... if it were me, I would also have to rush to buy BTC for survival. --- Look at how others are using it, while we are still trading meme coins here; the gap is not just a little big. --- Survival instinct > investment logic, this is the most realistic story. --- 200B in Turkey and 94B in Argentina, this is the future, and it might come faster than you think. --- Wait, is this number real? It feels a bit exaggerated...
