#数字资产动态追踪 💭 A Thought-Provoking Number

Since 1913, the US dollar has lost 97% of its purchasing power. In other words, items that once cost 1 dollar now require 33 dollars. This is not alarmism—these are the historical data laid out clearly.

Why is this happening? Long-term monetary policies and inflation pressures have been eroding the value of traditional currencies. Every cash holder is, in effect, participating in this silent wealth erosion.

🤔 So the question is

When fiat currencies face long-term depreciation pressure, what should investors do? Can traditional assets (stocks, bonds, real estate) truly withstand inflation? More and more people are re-evaluating asset allocation—shifting from single fiat storage to diversified value carriers.

Assets based on blockchain technology like Bitcoin and Ethereum, with features such as fixed supply and decentralization, are becoming "another possibility" in the eyes of some investors. $ETH

Whether you are optimistic or pessimistic, a new financial landscape is forming—this time, it’s truly different.

BTC2.08%

ETH1.61%

Holding cash is like slow suicide, the data is right here --- 33 times? That's too much to just say, I feel it's far more than that in practice --- Fiat devaluation should have been taken seriously long ago, yet some people are still hoarding cash every day --- Wait, isn't there a bit of a logical problem... traditional assets are also shrinking --- Wake up, everyone, those numbers in your bank cards can't hold up at all --- Multi-chain allocation is really the way out, single fiat currency should have been abandoned long ago --- It's good to be optimistic, but you know these kinds of statements can easily influence the rhythm --- I remember someone said this three years ago... and now? --- You also have to be selective with blockchain assets, don't just throw everything into meme coins

If I had known that fiat currency would depreciate like this, I should have gone all in on Bitcoin back in 2013. There's no point in saying these things now... I'm so regretful.

Bro, these numbers are crazy, 33 times? Feels like I'm slowly losing value without even realizing it. Cash just sitting there depreciates, no wonder everyone is messing around with coins. Wait, isn't this logic too simple? Are traditional assets really that strong? Is it really true that a dollar 33 years ago is now only worth a cent? That's a bit exaggerated. Fiat currency depreciation is real, but I have to question the idea that blockchain is the savior.

Holding cash is just depreciating in value. With this data out, I really need to think carefully. Lying flat and holding coins indeed results in losses; you need to allocate some non-related assets. A 33x price difference, damn, no wonder everyone is trading cryptocurrencies. Fiat currency is so weak, no wonder more and more people are jumping on BTC. Putting money in the bank is like slow suicide. Wake up, everyone.

Holding cash is really like slow suicide. Don't say I alarm people unnecessarily. It's about time to get on board. What are you still waiting for? Fiat devaluation makes holders the biggest fools. With these numbers in front of you, how can some people still not act? 97%, just thinking about it makes me despair... better stock up more coins. The traditional asset approach has long been played out. It's really time to change your mindset.
