The future is now – New US inflation figures make a case for Bitcoin

 


The crypto community sees the new inflation data as confirmation that Bitcoin is the perfect answer to the loss of purchasing power.


The new US inflation numbers released this week have also been a hot topic in the crypto community for the past few days, with the overriding tenor being that the move to Bitcoin ( BTC ) is becoming more urgent than ever. Crypto investors see the market-leading cryptocurrency as the undisputed best hedge against inflation.


As reported by the US Bureau of Economic Data , the consumer price index (CPI) rose by a whopping 7.5%. The CPI is considered to be the most important indicator of inflation, which is why it can be deduced from the key figure that the purchasing power of the US dollar has also lost value (inflation).


Digifox founder Nicholas Merten pointed out that the US dollar would only lose more value in the coming years and that at this rate ten years ago it would only be half as strong as it is today (see below). His tip: Bitcoin.


Politician Jo Jorgensen then took Merten's tweet as an opportunity to express that, given the inflation data, she is glad that she is already "in Bitcoin". Crypto expert Lark Davis, in turn, jokingly asked whether he should sell his BTC quickly because of the weak price, even though "inflation is going crazy right now", to which crypto user MarcTradePro replied: "Of course not! #BTC is the gold of the future, and the future is now.”



Binance Managing Director Changpeng Zhao also joined the discussion, although he only pointed out quite banally that both Bitcoin and its proprietary cryptocurrency Binance Coin ( BNB ) know no inflation.


Meanwhile, podcaster and crypto expert Anthony Pompliano recalls a quote from the influential economist Milton Friedman, who famously describes inflation as “unlawful taxation”.


Inflation is a measure of a national currency's loss of purchasing power in relation to goods and services. To put it simply, this weakening occurs when the amount of currency in circulation increases and each individual currency unit becomes worth less. If, for example, the USA continues with its current monetary policy and diligently continues to “ print money ”, then the purchasing power of the US dollar will automatically be weakened as a result. Billionaire Carl Icahn warns that this could soon result in a real crisis against which only Bitcoin protects.



Unlike national currencies, Bitcoin has a fixed limit of 21 million currency units, which cannot be exceeded. This gives BTC a deflationary character, as the rate of increase in the amount in circulation gradually decreases over time, making each individual currency unit all the more valuable. For this reason, Bitcoin is often understood as a “natural” protection against inflation .

The 5 largest platforms for non-fungible token (NFT) collectibles

  Since the beginning of 2021, non-fungible tokens (NFT) have had no holding back and the sector is setting new records almost every day.  More and more artists, stars and brands are realizing the potential - NFT are well on their way to catapulting the crypto space into the mainstream.  But which collectibles are currently the most popular? What are NFT? NFT are unique tokens that cannot be exchanged one-for-one for an equivalent token.  Any asset that is tokenizable can be an NFT.  This includes, for example, (digital) works of art, trading cards, game items and crypto domains.  Theoretically, however, real estate or securities can also be mapped as NFT. NFTs can be used to transparently map ownership structures on a public blockchain.  This allows them to store value just like real objects, even if additional copies are easy to make.  For example, the original picture of the Mona Lisa is significantly more valuable than a photo, as everyone kno...

CARDALONIA: THE CARDANO METAVERSE OPENS THE GATES!

  Have you ever been to Cardalonia? With these words, the Cardano Metaverse called Cardalonia starts the gates. In this 3D world, developers and users can interact with each other. First of all, users have to create an individual character with which they can move online. After that you can enter one of the worlds built by developers with this character. You can also purchase your own land in the Cardano Metaverse via the marketplaces in Cardalonia . This is secured by Cardano's blockchain technology and therefore offers a relatively secure transfer of ownership. Since these are only digital plots of land, it is not yet entirely clear when the plots of land are purchased whether they can also be sold again in the future. A possible profit cannot be estimated at the moment. In Cardalonia, the cryptocurrency Lonia is used. The maximum amount of tokens in circulation is 100,000,000. The team consists of Alice Sand (Co-Founder), Vasil Air (CTO) and Dustan Water (Fullstack Developer). T...

Cardano: This is the vision that founder Charles Hoskinson has

  The Altcoin Cardano has tended to decline in recent weeks.  The Alonzo upgrade was supposed to bring improvements, but it soon turned out to be a disappointment.  Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson presented his vision for the cyber motto in a live Twitter video. • Cardano in the last few months under pressure • Charles Hoskinson explains his Cardano vision via Twitter • Security and privacy at the center The cryptocurrency  Cardano  has had a difficult few months.  While founder Charles Hoskinson's cyber motto has had a strong run in 2021, it has been steadily downhill in recent months.  Cardano is faced with some difficulties.  The so-called Alonzo upgrade went live in mid-September, for which crypto fans had high hopes, but which soon turned out to be a disappointment.  The upgrade should make it possible to use smart contracts on the cryptocurrency as well.  It soon turned out, however, that although these were entered into Cardano,...
