In 1958, my grandfather retired at the age of 46. He had worked as a low-level employee earning a modest salary, yet he managed to support his family, buy a house, and retire when his youngest child was 7 and his eldest was 12.
This gold medal, awarded by the Chamber of Commerce of #Siracusa on his retirement represents a time when hard work and savings alone could secure a family’s future.
Today, such a story feels impossible. What changed?
The answer lies in inflation and the manipulation of money supply by central banks. Over the years, the relentless expansion of fiat currency has eroded purchasing power. Savings no longer guarantee security. Instead, families are forced to rely on debt and dual incomes to stay afloat.
In my grandfather’s time, money held its value. People could save confidently, knowing their efforts wouldn’t be undermined by hidden inflationary forces.
He spent quality time with his kids and wife and was able with just his pension to send both kids to school
But today? the value of fiat money is constantly debased, robbing individuals of their time and hard-earned wealth.
#Bitcoin. As a decentralized, finite resource, Bitcoin cannot be manipulated by governments or central banks. Its fixed supply of 21 million coins ensures scarcity, making it a hedge against inflation and a store of value. Bitcoin provides a way to undo the damage caused by decades of inflationary policies, helping people reclaim their financial independence and their time.
How much longer will we allow inflation to steal the most precious resource we have, our time!!!!!
