Economics is hard to wrap your head around 🤔

The Fed (central bank) controls monetary policy by controlling the volume of money supply and the interest rates, thus effectively controlling and balancing the credit available for expansion of the economy

As the economy grows, wages and household incomes grow, demand grows, and inflation happens

But, if you're HODLing #bitcoin, you're buffered against this inflation because bitcoin gets dearer with time. So, you're lucky

So far so good

But why do bitcoiners say the Fed is "evil" 🙈? How is bitcoin a legit alternative to fiat?

Fiat money doesn’t exist. It’s either a fictitious number on a screen, or a piece of paper representing even more fictitious numbers on even more screens.

Hey bud. You kinda answered your own question.

Sound money people hate the Fed because it prints money, debasing the currency. That's why they buy sound money (Gold, Bitcoin, etc).

Bitcoin can't be printed. So it can't be debased or devalued.

So the 2 compete against each other: Sound Money VS Fiat.

The easiest way to kill Bitcoin would be for every CB to stop printing immediately. Bitcoin's use case would effectively disappear (as long as it hadn't hit critical mass yet).
