The incredible increase in lahmacun prices in Istanbul has exceeded 2900% over the past five years. Lahmacun, which was sold for 6 TL in 2021, is now facing a price of 180 TL in 2026. This striking data clearly demonstrates how inflation in Turkey has affected daily life and how consumer purchasing power has been severely eroded. Similar scenarios are occurring in many economies worldwide; as fiat currencies lose value, physical assets and alternative storage methods are becoming increasingly important.

The lahmacun that costs 6 yuan has become 180 yuan. Isn't this the fiat death scene we see every day... With Turkey's inflation so outrageous, no wonder everyone is starting to stockpile BTC and physical assets.

The 6-yuan Rahmaqin has become 180 yuan? It's only been five years... fiat really is completely rotten, no wonder more and more people are turning to Bitcoin and physical assets. Paper money is just a game of devaluation.

The 6 yuan baked flatbread turning into 180 yuan? This is exactly the living textbook of fiat currency death... No wonder more and more people are starting to hoard Bitcoin and gold. Fiat paper money is just a joke.

The 6 yuan lahmacun turning into 180 yuan, this is the end of fiat, for sure. It was about time to go all in on Bitcoin, really.
