 Price stability is a scam 
 Yes. This is a term which primarily stems from the financialized world rather than from economics. Prices can be stable or not over a certain period of time depending on individual actions, wishes, needs, preferences, technological innovations / stagnations and other circumstances such as natural disasters. The price is what it is and it's important because the price itself is a means of communication and coordination. What they actually mean when they say "price stability" is money-printing, stealing and siphoning a large portion of people's productivity straight to the government in a more or less covered way. What is important though is the predictability of the money itself. Gold, besides its characteristics for why it was chosen as money almost all over the world, was very predictable if you ignore one or two events where some actors found huge gold occurrences which could cause unexpected price inflation. There have to be rules and in gold people rely on the universe that this rules cannot be changed so easily. In Bitcoin this debate can be indeed more complex but in the end it's predictability what matters in the first place. Btw, you can intuit it everytime when bitcoiners emphasize "21 million", "tik-tok-next-block every 10 minutes", "2,016 blocks", "210,000 blocks" "halving cycle every four years" and so on.
