CPI isn’t inflation. It’s a PR tool.
People are still quoting CPI like it’s gospel… why?
CPI is a lagging, curated basket that gets adjusted every time reality gets uncomfortable. Substitutions, hedonic adjustments, weighting changes, all designed to smooth the numbers.
Meanwhile:
- M2 money supply exploded post-2020
- Asset prices went vertical
- Cost of living didn’t “2-3%” it jumped
And we’re supposed to believe inflation is “under control”?
You don’t measure inflation with a shopping list.
You measure it with money supply expansion.
More dollars chasing the same goods = prices go up. It’s not complicated. CPI exists to make monetary policy look responsible. That’s it.
If you actually want a hedge against real inflation, you don’t hold dollars.
You hold scarce assets.
Bitcoin didn’t appear out of nowhere, it’s a response to this exact system.
