Your Dollar's Death
How It Works
The CPI Lie
We use official CPI (Consumer Price Index) data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics via the Federal Reserve (FRED). Note that many economists argue the real inflation rate is significantly higher than the official CPI suggests.
Why 1971?
On August 15, 1971, President Nixon ended the dollar's convertibility to gold. Since then, the Federal Reserve has been free to print unlimited money, steadily destroying the dollar's purchasing power.
Bitcoin: The Exit
Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins. Unlike fiat currencies, no central bank can inflate Bitcoin. Your sats today will still be the same fraction of the total supply in 100 years.
