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.
