Since 1971, when the world left the gold standard, governments have been printing money without restraint. New money flows to the wealthy first, pushing up asset prices while wages and savings fall behind. This is the Cantillon Effect. Bitcoin is designed to preserve value. It has a fixed supply of 21 million, is fully decentralized, auditable by anyone, portable across the world in minutes, neutral to all countries, and costly to produce. Other options don’t solve the problem. Stablecoins inherit the inflation of the currencies they track. CBDCs increase surveillance and still lose value. Real estate and stocks are investments,not money.
We are living in a shifting financial order, with rising rates, de-dollarization, and rules that can change overnight. Bitcoin offers savings that require no permission, no custodian, and no trust in any institution.Your savings shouldn’t buy fewer burgers each year. Bitcoin is not about getting rich quick. It’s about keeping the value of your work far into the future.
