60 years isn’t a long time. Most of us know someone born in 1965 or way before. But here’s a mind-blower 🤯: $100 in purchasing power from just 60 years ago is worth over $10,000 today thanks to inflation.
How?
The Rule of 72.
Allow me to explain 👇
At an average inflation rate of 8% per year, your money’s value halves every 9 years (72 ÷ 8 = 9).
So:
•Year 9: $50 💸
•Year 18: $25
•Year 27: $12.50
•Year 36: $6.25
•Year 45: $3.13
•Year 54: $1.56
•Year 60: Less than $1 😱
That $100 from 1965? It’s been slashed nearly 7 times, leaving it a shadow of itself.
Inflation doesn’t just nibble—it devours wealth over time.
Okay so that’s a massive problem. You’re probably wondering what you can do.
I believe Bitcoin is the best hedge against the debasement of government issued money 🧠💰
