If I will lose anyway by playing safe, why should I play safe?
That's true, I think headline inflation is massaged, and it's truly more like 5% PA, leading to losing nearly half the value of your money in 10 years, meanwhile you can get a maximum of about 2% interest in "high yield" savings accounts.
7% inflation a year means you lose 50% of the value of your money in 10 years.
