If we’re honest about how fiat currencies like the dollar or euro work, they’re essentially designed to lose purchasing power over time. Central banks control the money supply, and as more currency is printed or injected into the economy, each unit becomes worth less than it was before. This devaluation erodes savings, punishes long-term planning, and creates a system where holding onto cash feels like waiting for its value to slowly disappear.

Inflation isn’t always obvious in the short term, but over the course of years (sometimes even months)—it can have a dramatic impact. The idea that fiat currencies guarantee a loss of purchasing power isn’t hyperbole; it’s built into their very nature. This is why we're all here on Nostr - we are the manifestation of increasing interest in the one true alternative, Bitcoin, which was created with a finite supply and no central authority to manipulate its value.

The statement has an undeniable truth to it. Fiat currencies aren’t just losing ground—they’re designed to lose ground. And that’s precisely why people are looking for better ways to preserve their wealth and secure their financial future.
