The Money Printing Trap—How It Actually Destroys Value



Here's the reality nobody wants to admit: it's not complicated. Print more money → currency loses purchasing power → economy gets hollowed out. This isn't some accident or technical glitch—it's the mechanical consequence of monetary expansion.

When governments flood the system with freshly created fiat, what happens? Savers get punished. Wages lag behind. Real assets (like Bitcoin) become the escape hatch for people trying to preserve wealth. The math is brutal and predictable.

Inflation isn't a mystery. It's a feature of a broken system. That's why decentralized, fixed-supply assets matter more than ever.

Another old and clichéd argument, the standard copy for Bitcoin believers.

The printing press starts running, and our wallets shrink. It's as simple as that.

It's just printing money, you should have woken up long ago.

The crazy money-printing game should have gone bankrupt long ago, but unfortunately most people are still asleep.

Printing money is theft, why does no one dare to say it?

When the printing press starts running, the wallet shrinks—no one can argue with this logic.

Basically, it's just the printing press running at full throttle, and our wallets are depreciating. There's nothing mysterious about it.

Nah, this is reality. Once the printing press starts, it never stops.

Honestly, printing money is just a wealth harvesting machine. We workers are completely paying taxes to inflation.
