Part 4/12:
By converting the S&P 500’s performance into Bitcoin, the speaker demonstrates a startling fact: the dollar-denominated growth of stocks is illusory. When measured against Bitcoin, the same stock market data indicates a continuous decline. This underpins the core premise—traditional assets are tethered to a fiat currency prone to inflation and devaluation, diminishing real wealth over time.
In contrast, Bitcoin maintains a persistent store of value because of its predetermined scarcity—a fixed supply capped at 21 million coins—and resistance to inflation-driven devaluation. This makes Bitcoin a superior long-term store of value and a hedge against fiat currency collapse.
