Part 9/18:
An important recurring theme is the erosion of fiat currency value due to inflation. Using historical inflation data, the speaker underscores how traditional currencies lose purchasing power rapidly. For example, at a 10% inflation rate, the real value of money halves roughly every seven years; at even higher rates, this decay accelerates to just 3.5 years or less.
In contrast, Bitcoin is depicted as a superior store of value—digital "hard money." Analogies such as real estate prices (e.g., a house that cost 664 Bitcoin in 2016 being worth millions today) are used to illustrate how Bitcoin preserves and increases purchasing power over time, unlike fiat. This reinforces the argument that holding Bitcoin is an effective hedge against inflation and currency debasement.
