Stability is seen as tracking inflation. Cryptos don’t do that very well as they have huge variation during bull and bear market cycles which last one to three years. If you buy the top of the market you can expect to be underwater for at least two years. Cash is stable on the short-mid term but always lose value in the long term. So far the goldbacks have been rising with inflation quite nicely. Only during covid their prices became irrational.m for a little bit.

Allow me to insist: comparing anything with fiat is biased. It should be compared with the PURCHASING POWER.

I believe that you are mixing that with VOLATILITY . Actually volatility would be another point to compare

As I said in my other reply, stability would be the opposite of volatility in relation to inflation. Again, if you buy Bitcoin at the top of a cycle you’re going to see your purchasing power decrease for a lot for several months/years. Store of value is different from an investment. A good investment isn’t necessarily stable in price.

Actually now I’m confused, is it stability the opposite of volatility (seems to me)?

Your position on this seems good to me, as a store of value.

Yes, low volatility relatively to an inflation index.
