Another way to look at it is the following:

In 1971 , the cost of a house = 2.5 times an average annual salary.

In 2024 , the cost of a house = 8.6 times an average annual salary.

In 1971 , a new car cost about 1/3 of an average salary.

In 2024 , a new car cost over 3/4 of an average salary.

            I trust that it is now clear that

            inflation

              does
              not
            
            work in your favor

Note: All of these numbers are averages, and variable based on many factors. The point remains, inflation is a hidden tax and is time-theft on our real labor and production.

Hard money fixes this.

Bitcoin is hard money.
