When central banks keep printing money, the real question becomes: what actually holds value? Bitcoin's fixed 21 million supply versus unlimited fiat creation tells you everything. While governments expand monetary bases to combat deflation, assets with built-in scarcity become the ultimate hedge. This isn't speculation anymore—it's basic math. Every crypto holder essentially bets on this asymmetry: finite digital assets versus infinite paper money. That's the entire thesis. Hold what can't be diluted, because everything else will be.

When the printing press starts running, everything has to devalue. This logic makes perfect sense.

actually, the correlation between m2 expansion and btc price movements isn't as clean as ppl think. ran the numbers (n=2847 trading days) and the r-squared only hits 0.63 during bull markets. during bear cycles? basically noise. so yes scarcity matters but the "basic math" argument conveniently ignores liquidity constraints and order book depth on major pairs

I've seen through the whole thing about excessive issuance of fiat currency long ago. The key question is, can BTC really hold up...

Unlimited printing vs 210,000 Bitcoins, this is not faith, it's a math problem...

That's true, but the problem is that most people simply don't have the patience to wait for BTC to reach sky-high prices.
