If you save in dollars, your purchasing power is declining daily because the Federal Reserve keeps printing money and will never stop (~$2.3 Trillion 2015-2025). If you saved $10,000 in 2015 and use the S&P 500 for inflation (13.3%), not the 2% BS they tell us, your $10k can buy you $2,868 worth of goods today. All this money printing causes asset prices to "rise" (real estate, stocks, etc), aka keep up with the money printing, and your daily living costs like gas, food, rent, hygiene care, etc., all go up in price because the new money put into circulation at the push of a button. If you saved in an asset with a fixed supply, decentralized, permissionless, and open to everyone like Bitcoin, your $10,000 from 2015 would buy you $3,302,534 worth of goods today. Not everyone can afford to buy assets, but everyone can buy Bitcoin even if it's only $1. Compare it with whatever asset you would like, but if it's not growing against Bitcoin, it's not growing. Over the next 10 years they will keep printing money, assets prices will go up from it, and your cost of living will keep going up as well. Everything is falling compared to Bitcoin, even real estate. It's not about how much Bitcoin you can get, it's about getting out of a system that can drain your wealth with the push of a button.
