Inflation sounds technical and like something central banks deal with, not you.

But in reality, it’s the most important concept to understand if you want to stay free.

Because inflation doesn’t just make things more expensive.

It makes your money worth less. Slowly, silently, every day.

For thousands of years, gold has been money. Kings hoarded it, wars were fought over it, and until 1971 the U.S. dollar itself was backed by gold.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, is only 16 years old. Yet in 2025, it is seriously challenging gold as the world’s store of value.
