The Erosion of the Dollar: A Century of Wealth Transfer
#GoldVsDollar
Over the last century, the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar has quietly, but steadily, deteriorated—a trend that becomes unmistakably clear when compared to hard assets like gold. In 1933, a single ounce of gold was valued at just $20.67. Fast forward to 2025, that same ounce now commands a price of approximately $3,334.

This staggering increase isn't merely a story of gold’s rise—it's a reflection of the dollar’s ongoing loss in real value. With decades of expansive monetary policy, printing of fiat currency without hard backing has diluted its worth. Meanwhile, gold has maintained its role as a store of value, resilient against inflationary pressure and economic uncertainty.

The trend is not unique to gold. Digital assets like Bitcoin have emerged over the past decade as alternative hedges against currency debasement. Unlike fiat money, both gold and Bitcoin operate on principles of scarcity—gold through natural limitations, and Bitcoin via its hard-coded supply cap of 21 million coins.

For individuals looking to preserve wealth over the long term, it becomes increasingly important to allocate capital into assets that are resistant to monetary expansion. While fiat currency continues to lose purchasing power, holding a portion of your portfolio in finite, non-inflationary assets can be a strategic move toward financial resilience.

Stablecoins like $USDC are designed to maintain a steady value ( pegged to #fiatcurrency ), making them safer than volatile cryptos. Many users rely on them for trading, payments, and #DeFi without price swings. However, they depend on centralized issuers (like Circle for USDC), requiring trust in audits and regulations. Some worry about reserve risks (e.g., if banks holding collateral fail) or government crackdowns. Despite this, stablecoins bridge crypto and traditional finance, offering speed and low fees. While not "investments," they’re crucial for crypto liquidity. Trust remains key—if broken, their stability could collapse
