Why This Matters
When you save in fiat currency, you're holding an asset that loses value every year by design. Central banks target 2% inflation, but real inflation is often higher. Over decades, this compounds into massive wealth destruction.
The Bitcoin Standard
Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million coins means no one can dilute your holdings. As adoption grows and fiat continues to be printed, the exchange rate will continue to shift in Bitcoin's favor.
