Currency inflates because we live in a debt-based system.
Here’s what that means:
Governments don’t just print money; they borrow it.
From central banks. With interest.
So every new unit of currency comes with built-in debt.
And to keep the system running, they must continually borrow more.
This is what keeps everything running, but it’s also what causes rising prices over time (inflation).
More debt. More spending.
More and more money chasing the same goods and services.
Bitcoin? It’s fixed supply. No central bank policy needed.
No interest. No debt.
So as governments keep spending, Bitcoin keeps going up.
But here’s the trap:
If governments were to stop spending, the entire system would collapse.
Markets freeze, the safety nets disappear, and the banks fail.
And most people keep their savings in those banks.
They trust the system will hold.
But it only holds if the debt continues to grow.
The inflated prices is the tax you pay to keep the system from crashing
So we get two options:
Either Bitcoin wins, or we all go broke.
