Commodity-based currencies, like Bitcoin, outperform fiat currencies over the long term. Hard assets have a production cost that limits their supply, while fiat currencies can be printed at will by politicians with virtually no cost. This unchecked printing not only contributes to permanent national debt but also leads to a consistent erosion of purchasing power through ongoing inflation.
