Bitcoin vs. Fiat: The Purchasing Power Debate

Bitcoin offers a guaranteed increase in purchasing power, contrasting sharply with fiat currencies like the dollar, which effectively lose value over time due to inflation. Skeptics often point to Bitcoin's price volatility as a reason to dismiss it, but this overlooks the underlying strength of Bitcoin as a hard asset compared to weakening fiat currencies. Just as gold represents a stable measure of value, Bitcoin establishes a baseline that demonstrates the failures of traditional monetary systems. This perspective emphasizes that while Bitcoin’s market price fluctuates, its value as a stable asset continues to grow in relation to the eroding fiat systems.
