Also, image the taxes on it. The price of the Turkish Lira will have plummeted, and you have to pay taxes on all those false gains.

Seems like it. With that kind of government support, I'd be surprised it it wasn't a big scam.

Yeah, true. I'd be careful ...

Still odd that it's marketed and widely available at the nation's main airport

Here's my tin-foil hat analysis - it's heavily sponsored/promoted by the government.

They get bitcoin to "custody" and then give you back Turkish Lira, on their schedule, and subject to whatever confiscatory taxes they desire.
