🚨 Eye-Opening Fact: The Dollar’s Buying Power Has Shrunk 💵📉
Since 1971, the U.S. dollar has lost around 90% of its purchasing power.
What once filled an entire shopping basket now covers only a small portion of it.
🧾 How this erosion happens:
• Long-term inflation
• Expanded money supply over time
• Rising costs for everyday goods and services
🍎 Reality check:
A currency can appear “strong” on paper while still quietly losing value year after year.
🏜️ The bigger picture:
Fiat currencies change over time, while scarcity tends to preserve value.
Because of this, many people pay closer attention to assets like commodities and digital alternatives as part of broader economic discussions.
