Central banks can create unlimited fiat currency with a keystroke, yet the purchasing power keeps eroding. The mechanics are straightforward: monetary expansion outpaces real economic growth, and savers foot the bill.

Whether you view it as digital gold or a hedge against monetary debasement, the scarcity mechanism operates fundamentally different from traditional currencies. It's this constraint that draws those skeptical of endless money printing.
