The fiat system doesn't need to fail dramatically for Bitcoin to matter.
It just needs to keep doing what it's done for the last 50 years.
Dollar buys 4% less every year on average. That's not a crisis — it's the baseline. The "safe" option. The thing people hold because it feels stable.
But compounded over 20 years, that 4% is 56% of your purchasing power gone. Quietly. Without a headline.
Bitcoin is volatile. But the loss in fiat is guaranteed — and nobody shows you the chart.
