If you hold your money long term in regular checking or even bank savings accounts you will become poorer, there is no doubt about that. Inflation will eat away at your purchasing power. You will struggle to find any product a regular bank can offer that will help you beat inflation. Poor people save, smart people invest. Put your money in crypto, stocks, real estate.
inflation is getting more aggressive and people are getting poorer but it is so sad that some people are so comfortable in keeping their koney in the bank. This is time people really need bitcoin because o dot know if bitcoin wasn't created how the common man, the middle class would be able to handle inflation.
I think there are many unbank people who put their money on Bitcoin already as they are smart enough to know that their money is not going to grow in the bank and they can't outrun inflation by just putting their money on the bank for some annual interest.
Inflation is increasing everyday and the only way that people can handle it is to invest and yield better value in the future. People always have the mindset of things getting better in a short time that is why they still feel so relaxed and never make any attempt to invest bitcoin, but the more you keep waiting and nothing is done the more you lose financial value.
Crypto, stocks, or even precious metal will be the thing for us to invest. And this assets are best to fight inflation in the next coming years. Hopefully as I have said, people in this time should be intelligent enough where to put their money and not put it in one basket. So that they have mitigation risk or at least there will be plan B if something bad happen to their first investment.
