Yes, it has lost value over that time, but in a relatively stable and predictable way
People's savings are getting robbed in a stable, and predictable way. So every investment that goes down in value is "robbery"?
Will you be "robbed" if Bitcoin goes down in price ever?

The problem is that to "opt-out" of this robbing, you need to play it investor. You can't just buy a gold coin, and sleep easy that it'll worth the same in 20 years, as people could a century ago. (Again for a variety of reasons, not need to be discussed in here.)
You can't do that with any investment--or for that matter, any aspect of your life. You ask asking for permanent free money without even thinking about it.
Sounds like what you actually want is... Social Security

So you want a world where you just make money without even trying?
No? I never said that? I want a world where I can work, make money, and be able to hold the value of that money into the future, with the lowest risk possible.Got it. Exactly how low must this risk be? Have you ever quantified it? And how do you know what is "possible"? Did God tell you that? Because as far as I know there would be know other way to know that.
