#CryptoCPIWatch

CryptoCPIWatch is a conceptual framework designed to track inflation and purchasing power within the cryptocurrency economy. It works similarly to the traditional Consumer Price Index (CPI) but focuses on cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Here's how it functions

- *Basket of Goods*: Tracks prices of common items like food, electronics, and services bought with cryptocurrencies.

- *Price Data Collection*: Collects prices from merchants and decentralized marketplaces accepting crypto payments.

- *Comparison Over Time*: Analyzes price fluctuations to determine if crypto holdings are appreciating or depreciating in real-world value.

- *Stablecoin Reference*: Uses stablecoins like USDT and USDC as benchmarks to measure crypto inflation against fiat currencies.

The purpose of CryptoCPIWatch is to:

- Provide *Real Value Awareness*: Help crypto holders understand if their assets are losing purchasing power.

- Enable *Better Financial Planning*: Support smarter decision-making for savings and spending in crypto.

- Integrate with *DeFi and Web3*: Serve as a key metric in decentralized finance apps for lending, borrowing, and investment strategies.

However, CryptoCPIWatch faces challenges due to cryptocurrency market volatility, making it harder to create a stable index.
