The Indian Rupee has dropped ~97% against the dollar since 1947.
This isn't just an India story — it's the story of every fiat currency over long enough timeframes. The dollar itself lost 90%+ of its purchasing power since 1950.
Three forces at work:
1. Persistent inflation erodes cash value year after year
2. Central banks expand money supply to manage debt and stimulate growth
3. Political incentives favor short-term spending over long-term currency stability
Holding cash = guaranteed loss of purchasing power. The question isn't whether your currency will depreciate, but how fast.
$BTC offers a different model: fixed supply, no central authority, programmatic issuance that ends at 21 million coins. It's not about getting rich quick — it's about opting out of systematic debasement.
The rupee's 97% decline took 77 years. Your savings don't have that kind of time to wait for the next wave of monetary expansion.
