Bitcoin Has No Top Because Fiat Has No Bottom: Understanding Monetary Debasement

Monetary debasement refers to the process of reducing the value of a currency, which can be achieved either by decreasing the content of precious metals or by increasing the money supply. This may bring short-term economic benefits, but in the long run, it leads to inflation and financial crises. Bitcoin, as a decentralized digital currency with a capped supply of 21 million coins, protected by proof-of-work mining and a decentralized network of nodes, has an inherent scarcity that makes it resistant to inflationary pressures. Bitcoin users can ensure the supply never exceeds the predetermined limit by verifying the transaction ledger, having control over their own money without any restrictions on its use. During times of economic uncertainty, investors may turn to assets like Bitcoin to preserve value, and over time, Bitcoin might be considered the next evolution of currency.
