You're looking at it from a perspective of a victim. Fiat is designed to lose purchasing power while assets serve the purpose of preserving the wealthy. I honestly don't understand why it's so difficult to understand. Target inflation of 2% is a target of devaluation, nobody is hiding it. Instead, you choose to present it as some sort of conspiracy and a class war aka the Marxists worldview. You are free to use assets to protect yourself, you are not only limited to fiat.
