There’s something called the Big Mac Index!
It was created by The Economist magazine in 1986 as a lighthearted but useful way to compare currencies. The index uses the price of a McDonald’s Big Mac burger in different countries because it’s a globally available, standardized product made from mostly local ingredients.
If a Big Mac costs more in one country than another, that currency is considered overvalued.
If it’s cheaper, it’s undervalued.
It’s meant to show how much your money can actually buy and it’s not equal around the world.
The Big Mac Index reveals how broken fiat currency systems are. Prices, wages, and value all depend on borders, politics, and central banks.
One think is certain, in 1986, the average price of a Big Mac in the U.S. was $1.60 USD. As of 2025, the average price in the U.S. is approximately $5.79 USD 
The human right to save
When you can’t store the value of your work, you’re not free, you’re trapped.
Every act of independence begins with saving, to start a business, you save and to build a future, you save.
Saving is how humans turn effort into opportunity and how we reclaim time, converting hours of labor today into freedom tomorrow.
But for billions of people, that simple act is impossible.
Over 2 billion people live under double-digit inflation. In countries like Argentina, Turkey, Nigeria, and Venezuela, people lose a lot of their purchasing power each year.
Even in “stable” economies, savings are quietly eroded through inflation
Imagine working every day and watching your stored effort evaporate, not because of your mistakes, but because of someone else’s policies. That’s not economics, that’s theft.
And it’s the invisible violation of a basic human right: The right to preserve the fruits of your labor.
In the fiat world, spending is rewarded and saving is punished. Inflation encourages consumption, debt is subsidized and responsible savers see their value diluted every year.
The message is clear: Don’t plan, don’t hold and don’t think long-term.
Bitcoin restores the right to save!
It gives everyone, from a student in Ghana to a retiree in Canada the ability to store value securely, transparently, and independently. No inflation, no debasement and no permission required.
Bitcoin’s fixed supply of 21 million coins means your time and effort can’t be diluted by someone else’s decision! It turns saving into sovereignty.
And that’s revolutionary, not just technologically, but morally.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) guarantees the right to own property. Money is property, and protecting it is protecting human dignity.
Bitcoin doesn’t discriminate. It doesn’t care about your passport, income, or status. It offers the same opportunities to everyone! Earn, save and grow.
Bitcoin is not just innovation, but restoration because it restores a right that billions lost without noticing.
The ability to save is the foundation of every other freedom and for the first time in history, it’s available to everyone, everywhere
Bitcoin gives humanity a financial system that respects human rights by design.
Because true freedom doesn’t start with speech or politics, it starts with ability to say: “What’s mine stays mine.”
BREAKING: Turkey’s inflation “slows” to 32.87% in October
Still over 32% of your purchasing power gone in a year
Bitcoin is not an investment, it’s an escape plan!
Bitcoin and the scientific method
The scientific method emerged during the Enlightenment, a period when humans began to question kings and dogmas.
Instead of believing what power declared, scientists like Galileo and Newton asked:
What can be tested? What can be verified?
The method shifted humanity from belief-based systems to evidence-based truth and Bitcoin does the same for money.
In the fiat world, money’s value is dictated by decree, literally by fiat, Latin for “let it be done.”
Central banks decide what your money is worth, politicians decide how much to print and economists debate what “should” work and if it doesn’t, they change the rules. It’s not a system of proof, it’s a system of opinion. Inflation targets, stimulus packages, debt ceilings, all are unverified theories managed by authority, not reality.
If the scientific method built the modern world, fiat finance keeps us trapped in a pre-Enlightenment economy, one where belief still overrides evidence.
Satoshi Nakamoto’s whitepaper introduced the first evidence-based monetary system.
Bitcoin relies on mathematical proofs that anyone can verify. Every rule, from block size to supply cap, is public, measurable, and testable.
Every transaction is confirmed through computation, not opinion and every node checks the same laws of physics and code, not the promises of someone
Bitcoin doesn’t ask you to believe, it asks you to verify.
Proof-of-work is Bitcoin’s way of forcing truth to cost something, miners must expend real energy to mine blocks,
This is what makes Bitcoin scientific:
Objective: It measures work, not words.
Repeatable: Anyone can run a node and verify the truth.
Predictable: The same rules apply everywhere, always.
Science frees knowledge and Bitcoin frees value.
The Bitcoin whitepaper was released 17 years ago today
Thank you Satoshi 🧡
Throughout history, money has done more than store value, it has shaped how free we are.
Every shift in the way we trade has also been a shift in who controls our lives.
In the earliest days, trade was simple: I have what you need, you have what I need.
Barter worked, but only when coincidence allowed it. If no one wanted your goats for their grain, you were stuck. Freedom existed, but it was fragile, limited by proximity and circumstance.
Gold changed everything.
It gave trade durability, portability, and a shared understanding of value. Gold was freedom made tangible, no third party could debase it, no ruler could print more of it.
But storing and moving gold safely was hard. Over time, people began trusting others to hold it for them, and in doing so, they traded some freedom for convenience.
Paper money was born from trust, notes backed by gold, redeemable on demand. But that promise was broken when governments cut the tie to gold, money became an instrument of policy, not value. Printing money became easier than earning it.
Inflation turned into a tax no one voted for.
The illusion of freedom persisted, but the control had shifted, from the individual to the state.
Then came Bitcoin
A borderless, permissionless, finite form of money. It reintroduced scarcity in the digital world and with it, accountability.
Bitcoin doesn’t ask for trust. It enforces it through code, cryptography, and consensus. It’s not just money you own, it’s freedom you hold.
For the first time in history, anyone, anywhere can store and send value without permission.
Every evolution in money has been a tradeoff between freedom and control. Bitcoin breaks the pattern.
Bitcoin restores individual sovereignty.

We don’t talk about sovereignty enough in the fiat world
We talk about returns, yield, diversification and optimization. But not control, freedom or ownership.
If your wealth can be frozen, seized, censored, or inflated away, you don’t fully own it.
If you need permission to move your money, you don’t have full control over it
Financial sovereignty is self-custody, no counterparty risk and no dependency on institutions to access your own capital!
