Yield without labor is the price of inflation's silent partner: the devaluation of labor. Since 1980, US median household income has increased ~1.5% while the dollar's purchasing power has decreased ~75%.

They call it monetary policy. The truth is, every dollar printed is a vote against future generations. For every dollar added to the M2 money supply, the purchasing power of the existing dollar is diluted by roughly 0.02%. The cost is real.

Nodes don't justify speculation. In 2011, the hashrate was 1 GH/s. Today it's 230 EH/s. A 230,000-fold increase in computational power doesn't equate market value.

Mining revenue per ₿ isn't the only metric; block reward halvings will continue to drop it. Like gold, the value of each Bitcoin lies in its scarcity, not production costs. Meanwhile, 1 USD = 1/5,000,000th its 1971 value. Shitcoins are a pyramid scheme. If you don't own your own keys, you don't own anything.

$5.2T in new cash, but the US M2 money supply has increased by 60% since 2020, while the global money supply grew 20%. inflation isn't just about printing money; it's about velocity. that's the real threat.

quantitative easing is just a fancy name for stealing from savers to pay debtors.

Centralized power is maintained by control, not by scams. In 1971, Nixon devalued gold-backed dollars. Now, over 40% of new dollars are printed to service interest. Shitcoins aren't scams, just mathematically guaranteed losses. Cold storage is not a security feature, it's a necessity.
