The US Fed just cut rates by 50 basis points. On the surface, it might sound like good news for borrowing and growth, but here’s what’s really happening: lower rates mean more monetary inflation and, ultimately, more currency debasement. Governments benefit from inflation because it reduces the real value of their debt, but the cost of that inflation? It’s passed on to us.
Your money isn’t just a number in the bank—it’s your time, your energy, stored in abstract form. When inflation rises, that money buys less and less. The value of your hard work slowly slips away.
But there’s a way to protect what you’ve earned. Hard assets (or your own business), real estate, gold, and Bitcoin are tools that can act as a shield against the erosion of your wealth. These are the weapons I have chosen as inflation silently chips away at the value of traditional currency.
The Fed and Govts will continue playing their game—don’t just sit and watch. Take action now, get educated to guard your future.
