Every fiat currency in history has ended the same way.
Not all at once. Slowly, then faster. The debasement starts small — a little more supply here, a little deficit spending there. By the time people notice, the damage is already baked in.
But the people who notice early have always had one advantage: they moved into something the government couldn't print.
Gold played that role for centuries. Bitcoin plays it now — but with a cap that's verifiable by anyone running a node, not just auditors the treasury appoints.
Therefore, the question isn't whether this ends. History answered that. The question is where you're standing when it does.
