I've been trying to understand Bitcoin’s role in today’s economy. Many people describe it as a hedge against inflation, but with its frequent price fluctuations, I sometimes wonder how reliable that claim is.

Just look at the price movement of Bitcoin from 2016 to 2025, and compare it to the global inflation rate from that year to now, you will be able to see that Bitcoin is rightly called a hedge against inflation. Don't look at it in the short term, because Bitcoin's price in the short term tends to fluctuate, but you have to look at it in the longer term, and only then can you see that Bitcoin is the best asset as a hedge until now.
