> Who can look me in the eye with a straight face and say bitcoin protects against volatility? That bitcoin "protects exactly" against mismanaged economy and corrupt government?

You are conflating volatility and corruption

Bitcoin won't protect you against the former (and neither did the lebanese pound), but it does offer protection against the latter.

If gift cards were everything Apple did, yes thatbwould be true. Since obviously gift cards are not everything Apple does, it is clearly not true.
